Trust is a 2010 American drama film directed by David Schwimmer and based on a screenplay by Andy Bellin and Robert Festinger. It stars Clive Owen, Catherine Keener and Liana Liberato.
The film is about a young girl who eventually is a victim of sexual abuse as a consequence of a man she befriends on the Internet. The film commences with a 14-year-old Annie (Liana Liberato) living a happy life in suburban Chicago. She is on the volleyball team and has a healthy relationship with her family. On her birthday, she is given a laptop and is thrilled about her gift. Meeting a 16-year-old boy named Charlie (Chris Henry Coffey) in an online chat room, she establishes a connection with him. Over time, as the two bond by sending phone text messages and IM'ing, he bumps his age up to 20, then 25. Annie, is taken aback at first. She then dismisses these concerns. She continues the relationship, not wanting to end things with him because of how he makes her feel good about herself such as calling her "beautiful." After three months of texts, calling and IM'ing, they arrange a date at the mall. When they finally meet, she finds out that he is at least 35, if not old enough to be her father. Annie is upset about him having lied about his age. While at first, she cries about having been lied to, she soon changes her views when he compliments her looks and he eventually talks her into thinking their age difference does not matter. Charlie proceeds to seduce her and soon swoons her into really liking him. He takes her to a nearby hotel and once they're in a private room, makes her model a red lingerie bra and panties he bought her as a present before he coaxes her onto the bed and then rapes her - all this while secretly filming it.

Plot: With Gutter Punks (Cinequest, 1998), Sims took a gritty and intimate look at street kids. In Becoming Vex, he again focuses his attention towards young people (this time twenty-somethings) and portrays perhaps a more misanthropic view of society and the effects of violence. Trust lives in the 'burbs. Back in the day, Trust and his two friends, Johnny One Eye and Lefty, spent their free time (which there was a lot of) raising hell and kicking ass. Several years later, Johnny's work for a local crime lord has landed him in jail, and Trust has begun to question the semi-normal life he has taken. After Trust is fired, a trigger fires in his head, and a new war begins, with Trust at the forefront. Together with Lefty and Johnny-recently paroled-Trust leads the fight against "The Signal," the source of ultimate evil. But is there a signal? Or is that just something in Trust's mind?
