Clive Owen and Catherine Keener are two of my favorite actors. They’re both lovely and talented and they generally do interesting, challenging work. But after seeing this trailer for the film Trust, I’m kind of thinking they should fire their respective agents. This crap… as CB said, it looks like a made-for-TV movie. And not even a good-quality one, it looks like some crap for Lifetime. Guess who directed it? David Schwimmer. For real! As Dustin Rowles at Pajiba said, “I don’t know what kind of amazing bee-jays this man gives…”

God, why did Clive do this f-cking movie? Why don’t Hollywood directors get it? Women will pretty much watch anything with Clive, but they should throw us a bone and give us some Clive full-frontal nudity, y’know? Something where he looks rugged and dirty, and growls lines like “You need to take off your panties right now” and “Would you like a backrub, darling?”

Back to this turd of a movie. Gawker calls it “the dramatic equivalent of watching a ‘To Catch a Predator’ segment on Dateline, but with Clive Owen instead of Chris Hansen.” Pajiba made the interesting point that the Brits seem to love David Schwimmer, and maybe that’s why Clive signed on? But that still doesn’t explain why Catherine Keener did it. Maybe Schwimmer had some sort of blackmail scheme against her. Or maybe she just wanted Clive to touch her. So I’ll forgive Catherine for this one. I mean, just look at him.
