Snap Judgments Review: Clark Gregg's 'Trust Me'

Clark Gregg (The Avengers, Agents of SHIELD) writes, directs, and stars in the Hollywood-skewering comedy, Trust Me, playing Howard Holloway, a former child actor-turned-agent for child actors who can't catch a break. With his company on the verge of going under after he loses yet another client to his archnemesis (Sam Rockwell), things start to look up for Howard when he meets the supremely talented Lydia (Saxon Sharbino), a young actress who just secured a major Twilight-esque franchise and wants to be Howard's client....assuming he doesn't screw things up.

Trust Me is available now On Demand. Check out my Snap Judgments review of Trust Me below.

Trailer for Clark Gregg's 'Trust Me' Starring Sam Rockwell

It's been six years since Phil Coulson...er, Clark Gregg's last directorial effort, the Chuck Palahniuk adaptation, Choke. He's been pretty busy dealing with superheroes in the Marvel Universe ever since, but now he's getting back behind the camera for Trust Me, and now it has a trailer.

Gregg also wrote and stars in the film, playing an agent for child actors who discovers a teenaged star (Saxon Sharbino) who may finally catapult him into the big time. But first he has to deal with the girl's overprotective father, scheming producers, and his nemesis played by Sam Rockwell. The cast is great with Allison Janney, Amanda Peet, Felicity Huffman, and her husband William H. Macy all making appearances. It's a premise brimming with potential, so hopefully Gregg is able to make the most of out of it.

Trust Me hits VOD on May 6th and theaters a month later.
