When it’s based in character, Sword of Trust is stellar. But as it rumbles into a third act more ambitious than Shelton’s other films, things get a bit clunky... Shelton gathered together a terrific ensemble, and it’s a joy to watch them play within her and O’Brien’s offbeat world of conspiracy theories and lovable losers. In the end, Sword of Trust is rich with humor and heart with a sophisticated edge of snark.
