“The Trust” (*1/2 out of four) was a lackluster Redbox cop melodrama that will make audiences lose trust in Nicolas Cage and Elijah Wood’s career choices. They play corrupt cops who stumble onto a plan for a drug invasion and a mysterious bank vault. Cage and Wood make an engaging team at times but this is otherwise pretty by-the-numbers and blah. For a juicier story about corrupt cops, watch 1997’s “Gang Related” or “L.A. Confidential” onstead.
