Nicolas Cage has been in so many movies that it’s no surprise that even some of his better ones have fallen by the wayside. Although he’s had a resurgence in acclaim in recent years thanks to movies like “Pig,” “Dream Scenario” and “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” he’s still so prolific that plenty of his films only get small releases, often direct to VOD.
I’ve seen quite a few of those movies, and there’s a good reason that most of them languish in obscurity. But it’s worth wading through those forgettable entries to find a hidden gem like 2016’s heist thriller “The Trust,” which deserves a place alongside Cage’s best work of the past decade.
