The Trust Is an Overachieving Sleeper With Nicolas Cage as a sort of Psychotic Corrupt Cop Version of Ned Flanders

Nicolas Cage re-teamed with Bringing Out the Dead screenwriter Paul Schrader for the muddled 2014 psychodrama The Dying of the Light, which sucks in a different way than most of Cage’s vehicles from this period, but it still sucks.
