Trust

Trust is like a politely salacious book you would pick up at an airport to read on a long flight after an even longer work week. Overall, it's easy to follow and get caught up in the drama of these characters.

...a relatively well-paced drama that benefits from its unabashedly salacious storyline...

It helps that Daddario and Justice have great chemistry and their scenes together sizzle.

I love Victoria Justice as the lead.

It's empty, offering no insight into the human fallibilities of temptation and infidelity.

The enigmatic story keeps us guessing, but the reveals are less gasp and more nod.

In every conceivable way, Trust looks and feels like a Lifetime original movie iteration of Closer, with all the nuance and complexity replaced with glossy cinematography and CW-Network-teen-drama-level performances.

Gets over as bad art.

Up until a certain point in the movie, viewers are kept guessing over [which spouse] cheated. But by the end of the movie, the only people who should feel cheated are those who wasted their time watching this tedious and unoriginal film.

This shallow navigation of the relationship travails of good-looking, well-to-do millennials wouldn't matter so much if the script provided any meaningful suspense. Instead, the surface-level sparks quickly fizzle out.
