The film, "Rock Solid Trust," follows the story of a female mastermind, who leads a team of thieves on a daring cyber heist.

What sets this movie apart from others in the genre is, instead of relying on traditional heist elements and visuals, the film is told from the female mastermind's POV, who controls her team and every aspect of the heist with several cell phones and a bank of computers. For the first two acts of the film we mostly only see the mastermind, her cohorts are just voices on the cell phones. This approach is clever and surprisingly effective.

The lead actress does an amazing job of pretty much carrying the entire first two acts of the movie. She's supported by some amazing voice acting that managed to make these unseen characters quite vivid. The third act opens things up a bit and we get some nice surprises, but the initial contained conceit for the most part is skillfully maintained.

The cinematography is confident and professional, but what really stands out is the audio work. The film is loaded with complex sound effects mixed with voice performances and it's handled expertly.

Despite the limitations of location and bodies on screen, the film's director does an excellent job of keeping the visual and narrative interesting from start to finish.

Whether you're a fan of heist movies or just looking for a fun and suspenseful film, "Rock Solid Trust" is definitely worth checking out.

Love this concept although the set-up is contrived. The hurricane and the boarding up of windows and the safari park is just too messy. Come on. That said... once the core idea goes into action the movie really gets fun. From that point it's pretty much non-stop tension until the end.

Only thing I would have done different is that I would have had the tiger eat someone early in the movie to establish that it is super dangerous. Like in jaws when the naked swimmer gets eaten by the shark in the first scene.

The lead actress was cute. I wish there was another girl in the house with her instead of her handicapped brother. I don't understand what using an autistic kid adds to this story. This would have been a better movie with a bigger body count.

Oh yeah, one more thing. The title sucks. I get it but I think the title hurts the movie. This movie needs a title that matches what's going happening in the movie. I have the perfect title. CATCH A TIGER BY THE TOE. : )

The movie started slow but the overall conflict kept me watching. Once the plot twists began to kick in the movie gained a lot of momentum that kept me riveted. Some of the acting is soft but it kind of adds a bit of realism to the goings-on.

This movie takes some turns that I did not expect and I'm a professional screenwriter so i think that's saying a lot. There are a few threads hanging at the end that I wish were fleshed out more but I did not leave unsatisfied.

If you're in the mood for some thoughtful sci-fi I highly recommend that you give this flick a try.
