Solid Rock Trust

Solid Rock Trust is an impressive filmmaking achievement. Writer/Director Rick Ives does an excellent job and Dakota Curtis' camera work is on point but it's actress KoKo Marshall that holds your attention. It essentially takes place in one location with mainly 1 actor and they deliver to say the least. It's a smart, involving, and intriguing thriller about a high end bank heist. I know what you're thinking. Is it a movie about a bank heist or about one actor in one location? It's both and it's brilliant. This movie is suspense. This move is emotion. This movie is mystery. This is a movie I recommend.

From the moment this film began it drew me in. Koko Marshall was really believable. She never went too far. In a film where, for the most part, she is the only person on screen, that is quite a feat. The story was compelling and kept me guessing. The characters were alive and full. The back and forth with each of them kept me on a ride wondering who was going to crack first! Rick Ives did a wonderful job writing this and was the only person who could have directed it. He took me down a rabbit hole of intrigue and adventure. I was always on the edge of my seat wondering how all of this was going to connect. This film is full of surprises and a surprise ending.

Bravo!

"Rock Solid Trust" is a vivid and excellent film that is driven by a powerhouse performance by Koko Marshall. I admire how fast she thinks under pressure. How poised she is in the face of adversity. Although limited to one location, the pacing of this thriller keeps the viewer engrossed in the story. The camerawork, the editing, the score - all work seamlessly to keep the film moving quickly. The director of this film - Rick Ives - has crafted a suspenseful and entertaining heist thriller. Most impressive is Rick's ability to provide a fresh perspective and develop an original story in a popular genre of filmmaking. I highly recommend this film.

Rock Solid Fun An International Cast of - One! That's right one and brilliant and I'd ruin it for you if I explained more. This is what I expect of a truly independent low budget feature and Rick Ives has really scored one with this his first feature film (which is kind of hard to believe.) A very clever heist drama with a perfect and tense performance from dialectically gifted Koko Marshall. Skilfully and swiftly edited too with all the twists and turns that go with the genre. It takes an enormous talent to keep the tension high with barely more than one location and he succeeds where many others have failed. I am eager to see what he does next.

Really engrossing and well done. Setting a movie in one place can become monotonous and tedious in other hands, but not in this case. I was hooked early on and kept at the edge of my seat. Koko Marshall was enthralling and very watchable. Not only did she hold my attention, but I empathized with her, not always easy to accomplish, and the actress let me see the character's humanity. The camera work of Dakota Curtis was interesting, unusual, and made the film much more watchable. It's a great tale full of twists and turns that kept us guessing. Kudos to the director, Rick Ives, for a great job.
