A Trusted Man (2011)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Boring

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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.

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.

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.

This movie underscores a potential pitfall of dating a police officer. Sonia (Charisma Carpenter) accepts a new position in her company that requires her to move from New York to Boston. Her boyfriend, Tom (Dylan Neal), a police officer, does not want her to move, but Sonia moves anyway.While in Boston, Sonia meets a handsome art gallery owner (I think his name is Sebastian, played by Nicholas Lea), and she sees him as a possible romantic interest. But Tom is not having any of this, and what Tom wants, Tom gets. I'll leave it at that.None of my review reveals any crucial plot elements, as all of this is evident to the viewer from the start of the movie. Charisma Carpenter dutifully plays the heroine/victim, and Dylan Neal easily fits the mold of the jealous, controlling, crazy boyfriend. The scenes with Charisma Carpenter and Gemma Martini (the actress who plays her therapist in the film) are very good and are mostly believable. Worth watching if you like these types of movies. This premiered on LMN last night. If you like a movie with this type of theme, you might also want to check out Tall, Dark And Deadly (1995).
