I didn't know what to expected from this movie, one thing is certain, I was pleasantly surprised by David Schwimmer movie. The movie is about a teenage girl from a good family that targeted by an online sexual predator. The subject of online predators didn't investigate enough by Hollywood, and Schwimmer do a nice job by raise the issue.
Although the plot focus on the online sexual predator and his victim, the movie is all about TRUST- simple as it sound. How can you live your life, with all the evil out there, and still trust people- not matter if it's a stranger, your daughter, the law enforcement. More than all, the main question is if you can trust yourself?. This's why Trust is more similar to movies like Doubt and Shame, that have a large theme (Pedophilia and Sex Addiction), but the meaning is about a specific emotion or concept (Doubt and Shame).
The movie also focus on father-daughter relationship. Will (great acting by Clive Owen), the father, finds it difficult to trust people, it is quite the opposite from his daughter's character, this's what make their relationship so intriguing. The climax happened in the ending, something change, the characters close the circle and understanding their past mistakes. I am little surprise that no one mentioned the similarities between the movie Ordinary People and this movie, especially the ending.
In a world that people can hide their true identity by using technology, it's hard to feel safe, in a 'fake world', how can you trust anyone? the real scary thing is, that you must have some kind of trust to keep living, you can't conduct your life with permanent paranoia. Without trust, we left with anarchy- Will character is a great example, few times he break the law. This's what make this movie great, it's not masterpiece, but it's make me think, and this alone worth the money.
