Le Casse

I like this movie. It was smart, fun and kinda strange. But I like it. The best movie with Nicolas Cage in years.

I think a lot of people don't get what is happening. If you think about what happened in the movie, it will all fall into place. This movie will be underrated by many. I think I got it. This is a thinker.

I would recommend this to people who are a little tired of the same old super-hero movie type and who are looking for a movie that you will have on your mind for a while. A nice surprise from Nicolas Cage and Elija Wood.

8/10 for me on this movie

I started watching this film and was really in to it cause I like Nicholas Cage and there was some great acting. It was a good movie up until the last 15 minutes. unbelievable how the writers screwed up this film at the end! I guess they where trying to do something different and maybe some people liked it but I was not happy at all and felt I just wasted my time. The reviews for this where not good and almost didn't watch it but of course I wanted to see it cause of Nicholas. If Nicholas wants get back on track he should not be involved in scripts like this. This movie has one the worst and endings I have ever seen and the end leaves more questions than answers. Don't bother watching!

Another deep dive into Netflix has yielded a surprising little gem that starts lighter and funnier than I expected, before sliding into a mess of lies and death. Cage and Wood have great chemistry, bolstered by the sharp patter in the script. It's a steady snowball of tragedy whose plot isn't quite shocking but has plenty of unexpected turns around each corner.

Since so many years now, I did not expect from the rare films starring Nick Cage which I took risk to watch. I have not that much time to lose. But I must admit that, from time to time, Francis ford Coppola's nephew may give us a good film; after all he is genuinely a good actor, only his choices are, more than often, corny. Two years ago, JOE was a very good movie although not that much in the Hollywood line. Maybe this explains that. I wait now for DOG EAT DOG, from an Eddy Bunker's novel. Well, back to this film, TRUST, I really love it, I did not expect so much, especially if you consider classified it as a comedy. What comedy? If that's a comedy, WILD BUNCH is also a burlesque feature...But, yes, some accents in the script ate somewhat light, you can think of a comedy if you see only those short segments. Especially in the first part, with the music, and so on... It is a heist film, that's the reason why I bought it. Good little surprise.

I saw the trailer for 'The Trust' a few weeks ago and I thought it looked interesting since I'm a fan of Nicolas Cage. He had a lot of bad movies recently but also a few good under-looked movies (Joe, Frozen Ground, Drive Angry). It's fair to say that 'The Trust' is a good entry in Nicolas Cage's volatile filmography.

The ending might be the weak point of the film, maybe don't go in with too much expectations, but Nicolas Cage and Elijah Wood were really surprising. They had a couple of funny moments together, and they were definitely carrying this movie.

I love a movie with a cool soundtrack, and I thought the directors (Alex & Benjamin Brewer) did a nice job setting the tone for this Las Vegas caper movie with great music and funny scenes. Elijah Wood is playing a stoner cop and I thought it was a good role for him. The acting was really on point the entire movie.

The Bobo scene was hilarious, and the whole 'heist' takes different twists and turns.

Even though the first hour is the best part and it falls short in the last 30 minutes, I recommend giving 'The Trust' a try if you like crime/comedy movies, or if you're a fan of Nicolas Cage.

7.5/10
