Watch Trust Me For Free

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Not knowing anything about this film I watched this on a lonely evening while I was recovering from a painful dental procedure. At first I thought the film was going to be the same old story I have seen dozens of times. It was not. Yes the same type of story has been told. However, not as surprisingly well as Trust Me created. Clark Gregg wrote a powerful, sweet, tight story that touched my heart and caused me to feel wonder, empathy, anger, sadness and joy. Clark Gregg portrayed the lead with truth and dignity. His talent is impressive and every actor in the film was just as intriguing. From Felicity Huffman to the young Saxon Sharbino's enchanting performance of a strong adolescent with soulful ageless wisdom of greatness that only a shrewd surviver knows. Multilayered and talented played with ease and grace. Even William Macy's bit part was phenomenal. Seeing Amanda Peet was a great bonus. Not to forget Niecy Nash who is always right on cue. Maybe the film caught me by surprise. It was a great one and just what I needed. I loved the film and will defiantly watch it over and over. This will be one of my go to movies. Great work! The film warmed my heart. All of the dialogue and every scene moved the plot forward. There was no over the top meaningless dialogue, no over acting, or self indulgent BS. This film deserves credit--bravo!

Along with the obscure gem "The TV set", this movie "Trust Me" is one of my favorites for blowing the lid off the sleazy cut-throat industry that cranks out what we're all here for: movies. It does it in an entertaining way, both darkly comedic as well as suspensefully dramatic. And ultimately it depicts the powerful & eternal struggle between honesty and success (which applies no matter what career we're talking about).As other reviewers have said, don't just expect a comedy although the wacky title and DVD description may lead you to believe it. Instead this is a powerful story with a lot of heart. It does have some really funny moments particularly in the beginning, but as the tangled web gets woven, the film appropriately shifts to a more serious tone, almost like a thriller or crime drama at times.Writer-director-star Clark Gregg knocks it outta the park on all levels. He plays the quintessential good guy in a sea of scum (such as the awesomely detestable Sam Rockwell playing his arch-nemesis, a rival agent). All his life he seems to be the personification of "nice guys finish last". But then he meets up with his one big shot: a talented unknown actress played by Saxon Sharbino (herself a fresh new face). But things soon get crazy, and I'm not just talking about the sleazy Hollywood types. The story takes an unexpected twist which really puts our hero to the test regarding how far he should go to protect the young girl who has put all her faith in him.Some surreal dream-like moments (such as maybe a vampire scene?) and nice cinematography add tremendous personality to this flick. The script is excellent, especially with the witty, fast-paced banter between Gregg and Amanda Peet. And be on the lookout for some great bit roles by William H Macy (the creepy Audi salesman), Molly Shannon (the "milf") and the aforementioned Sam Rockwell.I highly recommend this film to anyone who is considering getting into, or who is currently in, the entertainment business whether it's acting, writing, singing or heck even professional athletes & artists whose careers are potentially shaped (mutilated?) by those slick suits we know too well. Similarly-themed and similarly-vibed films include "Circus Maximus" about a writer who has 1 weekend to write a blockbuster film, "The TV Set" about a writer whose honest idea is slowly getting corrupted into a Hollywood abomination, and of course the big one "Jerry Maguire" about a sports agent's last shot at the big time. Alongside "Trust Me" these are all great flicks that might just change your approach to career & life. Vampire fangs are optional.

I can't add anything to the descriptions already given in previous posts. It is all they have said - well acted, well directed, unlikeable characters, twists at the end, a strange and odd ending. It's all these things.But the question I keep asking myself is "Did I like the film?" And, honestly, I don't know. There are funny scenes, heart wrenching scenes, confusing scenes. I don't know if I would ever watch it again, but,yet, I couldn't stop watching it. I wanted to know what happened next. I wanted to know how it ended. I wanted to see the whole movie.And, in the end, isn't that what movie makers want from a movie? Making us have that feeling that we MUST watch the movie to the end? Even when we can't really say we are enjoying our viewing experience, we also can't turn it off or walk away because we have to KNOW how it ends.That's how I feel about this movie. Did I like it? I can't tell you I did but I can tell you it was a movie I couldn't stop watching.

My respect for Gregg just increased 10 fold, I thought he was a good character actor who landed a big role in the marvel universe that fits like a glove for him. But he seems to be a very talented director and writer as well. His performance is solid and the chemistry between him, Sharbino, Peet, Rockwell and Sparks carries the movie from OK to good and the direction and editing moves it from good to great. It fells like it was made out of one piece and all the transitions within story are executed brilliantly. It plays with the expectations of the audience and the stereotypes of such movies and ends up being something completely unexpected and thought provoking.
