When Stone hears a story about a heroin dealer quickly beating his extremely high bail, the two friends set into motion a plan to find the origin of such a large amount of cash.

Wood and Cage have a terrific dynamic together. Read full review

Neil Genzlinger

The script, by Adam Hirsch and Benjamin Brewer, is full of both humor and menace, giving the actors plenty to work with. That makes for an enjoyably slow buildup to an unexpected ending. Read full review

When it comes to the disposable VOD fare that Cage and Travolta have made a side career out of indiscriminately embracing, minor pleasures are a major improvement. Read full review

The Trust is many other things — darkly funny, flawed, with a eminently watchable dynamic between Cage and Wood — but from frame one it reasonably entertains, while its characters have nothing but contempt for one another. Read full review

Cage supplies a stream of tension-defusing laughs while the script steadily applies the screws, but this disposable exercise in comic nihilism offers only a modest payoff at best. Read full review

For reminding us all that Cage has a peculiarly gifted way with erratic types, The Trust has merit, but the rest of it strains to hold one’s interest. Read full review

Solid heist movie with a unique twist at the end. Good performances from both leads, a return to form for Nic Cage and Elijah Wood as the sort of disillusioned stoner that you've always imagined he's like in real life. The cinematography gets interesting in the last third (heist part) of theSolid heist movie with a unique twist at the end.
