3.5/5

American Trash might be a tough sell for many people, particularly the inclusion of old Charles Manson interviews, but there’s plenty of engaging commentary about the planet, redemption, and keeping a tight grip on your humanity.

What could easily have turned into a run-of-the-mill revenge saga has more on its mind and, at every step, chooses not to follow the obvious path.

…a thought-provoking and fiercely intelligent film about a recognisably tough life...American Trash is a well acted and conceived project to be commended for its realistic and sensitive approach to veteran's issues…

3/5

LaSardo, a veteran character actor often cast as the heavy, does well here as both director and lead...[His] portrayal of a hard man with a vulnerable, arguably naive side is believable, particularly in scenes where both aspects grind against each other.

It’s decently written, directed, and acted from the lead cast. The film shows that LaSardo is on his way to becoming is a solid film writer and director after having been in over 175 films as an actor.

‘American Trash’ is raw, powerful, and depressing. And you’ll want to watch every nerve-wracking moment.

Found this movie on YouTube. I don’t really watch movies and this one came on randomly and I have to say that I was pulled in captivated from the first scene all the way through the end. This movie has depth and emotion throughout and some can relate. It had me in a moment with tears falling down my face. I highly recommend this film to anyone who suffers from mental health and knows what it’s like to survive in this world of chaos and also respects the earth.

I can’t believe this had great reviews. So drawn out and preachy. Not a revenge or crime thriller at all

Fantastic film with a great story. Robert LaSardo does a great job both as the main star and directing. Which is a breath of fresh air seeing him expand on his craft.
