Review of The Trust

The Trust (2016)
1/10
Nonsensical screenplay
9 April 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Wow I had not watched a movie with such a nonsensical screenplay for a long long time, and I advise you to better use your time.

The first half, while incoherent, still makes the story go forward. But the second part, the heist, does not make sense at all.

Why would you not trust the guy who serves you potentially hundreds of millions on a plate, the guy who financed the whole operation and worked his ass off to find the information, the guy who is supposed to be your friend, the guy you have been more or less working with for years?

If you had such misgivings in the first place, why go along ?

And why are you so willing to trust a woman that you don't know, but is waiting in a house with other criminals, where there are more weapons than in an armory ?

Why, when you have opened the safe and the millions are ready to be taken, do you let her make a call ? If you are so gullible to believe her reason for the call, why are you so stupid to think it can't way 30 minutes that the wealth is transferred in the van and you are ready to go, before letting her have her phone call?

Why are you so willing to kill your partner in crime without any reason to doubt him?

Why are you so stupid that you waste time bringing back the charged money and jewel, and put them back in the safe, as if A. You are such a genius you absolutely remember where each belongs, although you did not take part the load up in the bags and did not even watch you partner fill them up. B. You are so sure nobody will come, and you have all the time in the world, and why not make a pizza party while waiting for the mafia to reclaims its due ?
