"Trust was one of the first American indies that I ever saw… and it blew my mind. My experience of movies up until that point had taken place in a multiplex. The fare was entertaining, sure, but I never felt like there was a place for me in it. Hartley’s film and the early ’90s changed all of that. It seemed like a whole new art form. I didn’t even realize that you could make a film like this! The characters were smart and seductive, and they hurt and loved in ways I recognized. Martin Donovan, Bill Sage, Adrienne Shelly — they were my Band of Outsiders."

Michael Herr, Kevin Powers | 2015 | Biography

"Herr, who recently passed away, was one of the great prose stylists of the twentieth-century. Reading Herr is immensely instructive and hopeful; he always makes me feel that, yes, the English language can be used to interrogate any dilemma, no matter how complex. Herr’s rich, high-culture/pop-culture language and his stunning level of erudition allow him to put all doubts and counterarguments into play and create a sturdy mosaic of ambiguity, with an affectionate but skeptical mind at the center of it. I wish he was still with us and writing about this moment – there’s no one I would trust more."

Average Thriller
Missed this at the cinema so caught it on Sky cinema. Pretty average Thriller featuring an undercover informant. Events make him not sure who to trust and put him and his family at risk.
The main problem is this feels like a lot of other undercover plot type films but no where near as good. Some of the decisions made and actions taken didn't make much sense. It has quite a low budget feel to it overall. Lots of twists and turns to a predictable ending. It's all a bit clichéd by the end. An ok thriller but nothing special.
