Reviews
Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
decemberangel1286 This movie is just as bad as a movie I saw with Bianca Lawson in House of Secrets neither man wanted to see their mates move on. A trusted man is badly written and badly acted. a trusted man never should have been written, the script is so bad it should have written, bad acting job, bad acting cast. The only good actress was Charisma Carpenter and the lines were so terrible it wasn't funny. I shut the movie off after an hour and twenty minutes into the movie, I caught the last 5 minutes of it who wouldn't figure out that her ex boyfriend was working on making her life miserable. Charisma should of broken off the relationship with Tom long before her promotion but he should have understood her job and understood her.
TheLittleSongbird Obsession or A Trusted Man is not completely irredeemable. It is not too bad to look at, and Charisma Carptenter, Gemma Martini and Nicholas Lea's performances are decent. But it is a largely bad and forgettable movie. While the actors do what they can, they don't have much to work with. Their characters are underdeveloped clichés and I found myself more annoyed with rather than able to identify with them. The dialogue flows awkwardly from one line to the next, and some of those lines are either cheesy and ones that we've heard to exhaustion. The pacing is lifeless and meandering, and unfortunately it never recovers, and while the direction does nothing to hurt how the film looks there is nothing that holds any kind of distinction or even life here. But what fared worst for Obsession was the story. It is one of those stories that you have seen so many times before, and done in such a draggy and non-suspenseful fashion, that you know exactly what's going to happen to each other and how the movie was going to end. Nothing makes sense either, there's far too many senseless parts here to really pick out the biggest offender in this regard, but Sebastian not calling the cops on the way to the warehouse, the cop knowing about the warehouse without having been there and Sonia not finding it peculiar how he came out in the middle of nowhere are certainly at the top of the list.All in all, forgettable, predictable and senseless movie compensated by some decent acting and that it didn't look cheap. 3/10 Bethany Cox
Tappancs Mancs Here we go. The storyline is so linear that it makes the movie hard to watch. You always know what the next steps will be. No surprises there. All the turns of events can be predicted, somewhat looks like the screenplay was written in a way to make it easy to understand even for the family dog. Note that we are talking about a thriller!!! Where is the thrill, the suspense, the biting of your fingernails?! Seriously! There are a number of points where you know that in real life this and that cannot/would never happen. And these all happen at moments that are crucial for the storyline. So bottom line: Don't waste your time with this movie. I can't believe I am actually wasting time on typing up this review... just wanted to spare you the disappointment.
edwagreen Sonia seems to have trouble with male relationships in this 2011 film.When she accepts a promotion in another city, this ticks off her boyfriend, the latter happening to be a New York City police officer. This sets off a chain of a series of events which is absolutely shocking.Her rejected boyfriend will go to any lengths to make sure that if he can't have Sonia, no one else will and that includes the psychiatrist who told her to move on with her life.The rest of the film is devoted to how the police officer frames her new lover with the murder of the therapist. Problem here is that the police realize rather too quickly in the film that the perceived guilty guy isn't.
