Trust Nobody

About This Movie

Trust Nobody (2020) offers a gripping dive into the isolation of a locked-down world. The film's tension builds as we watch an understaffed detective collaborate with a retired police captain over video calls—an interesting take on the classic buddy cop dynamic, only here it's through screens. The atmosphere is thick with paranoia, and the pacing keeps you guessing as the detectives race against time to solve a murder, only to find themselves tangled in another killing. The performances, especially the dynamic between the two leads, bring a rawness that elevates the story. There’s a distinct reliance on practical effects, giving it a gritty realism that sticks with you. It's a peculiar little film that captures a unique moment in time.
