#033 - The Trust (2016)
Hello and welcome to my weblog. Last week I watched The Trust (2016).
One of the main things about Elijah Wood is anguish. His is the face of a cartoon otter; he looks like he should be happy so when he’s having a bad time, it feels extreme, like no one has ever had a worse time than he is having now. I rewatched the Lord of the Rings movies recently so I should have picked up on it then but it really only came into focus for me watching this movie.
We’ve all had that one boss who we couldn’t stand who tried to cajole us into robbing a mysterious vault in an abandoned grocery store. This movie dares to ask, “what if you did it?” There are plenty of heist movies where clever thieves, through the power of friendship, overcome their obstacles and pull off the heist of the century and there is also this movie.
