The Trust

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Trust may not be an all-time heist classic, but its solidly workmanlike plot -- and the chemistry between Nicolas Cage and Elijah Wood -- should satisfy genre enthusiasts.

Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Jun 20, 2016
3/5
The Trust is a heist movie that gives Nicolas Cage his juiciest performance since Kick-Ass and indulges some very kooky Cageian line readings. Go to Full Review

1/5
There are foetuses that would be more convincing in the role of a jaded lawman than Wood. You can festoon him with hookers and drug paraphernalia - he still looks like a newly hatched baby bird. Go to Full Review

Cage is on fine form in this slick little thriller. Go to Full Review

1/5
There's an absence of any sort of genre or thematic cohesion, leading to a film littered with tonal fits and starts that come off as more or less random. Go to Full Review
Morgan Rojas Cinemacy Aug 6, 2018
The Trust is perfect for those wishing to see two fantastic actors paired in delightfully quirky roles. Go to Full Review

Cage returns to the Las Vegas he once famously left, joined by Elijah Wood for a simple but mostly effective heist flick. Go to Full Review

Kylo R Apr 23, 2019 Awkward pacing and dialogue. Cage is off his game and there was little Wood could do to carry this film.
Han P Oct 22, 2018 Cage hasn't been so rewarding in a film project for quite some time. He has been stuck in the market of making films for a debt and sadly his career has taken a turn for the worst. Wood and Cage ignite an otherwise typical heist film and without them, this film would be relegated to VOD territory forever. The film has a wicked sense of humour and remains unpredictable until the the bitter end. The film is not without its flaws but it is a solid entry into the heist market that is quite overcrowded and glorified by Hollywood these days. The Brewers have substance and style which will serve their careers well for future projects. Cage should find more developing filmmakers for his wide variety of talents, he can really set the screen on fire when he gets going. 22/10/2018. See more
Hermione L Sep 14, 2018 Thinking about Nicolas Cage's works lately I can't say this was a total disaster like many of them, it had a certain sense of humor and some thought behind it. I'm glad he showed that he can still keep his head above the water. See more
Rey S Jul 16, 2018 The most idiotic movie i've seen in ages...
Finn W Jan 26, 2018 Wow- this is such crap- nothing works. Terrible dialogue, drags, banal, plot is non existent. Trying to find a good movie on Netflix is like trying to find gold in a sow's ear. See more
Rey L Oct 28, 2017 This movie had an awful lot going for it, but the ending was so bad that I wanted to throw something. Nicolas Cage and Elijah Wood do fairly well with the material, but in the end, it fails all of their good efforts. See more
