Trespass Trailers

Kyle and Sarah Miller have it all: a huge gated house on the water, fancy cars, and the potential for romance in their relationship. He's just back from a business trip and their teen daughter Avery is sneaking out to a party, when four thugs in security uniforms and ski masks stage a home invasion. They want what's in the safe: cash and diamonds. As Kyle stalls them, trying to negotiate for Sarah's freedom, the fault lines in Kyle and Sarah's marriage and the pasts of the four robbers come into play. Is there room here for heroism?

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
kevandeb Somewhat hacked off that it has taken me 15 minutes to find out that you cannot review via your iPad, and via browser is not the easiest. In fact leaving a review is as painful as watching this movie, contrived, painful, more trouble than it's worth and not worth the effort. The only reason I am bothering is to save somebody the trouble of losing a chunk of their life watching this drivel. Clichéd, formulaic and boring to the point of inducing a coma. I really like Nicolas Cage, starred in some great movies like snake eyes and con air, but he is really just taking the pay check in the last few years and like some other great names like De Niro & Pacino, it is sad to see. not that Cage is in their league.
grantss Dull, unoriginal, predictable. The best home-invasion / kidnapping movies, eg the original 1997 version of Funny Games, Kidnapped (Secuestrados) (2010), are edgy, unpredictable and don't necessary have happy ending. Trespass has none of those qualities, hardly edgy, quite predictable, and I won't spoil the ending. The genre is such that it is difficult to so something original, and here Joel Schumacher doesn't even try.Worse than being unoriginal and predictable, there are random sub- plots which do nothing but pad the story. The random detours, initially there for shock value and always seeming contrived, wear thin very quickly.Performances are OK. Not surprised to see Nicholas Cage in this crappy movie: he likes to mix profound movies with outright trash. You would think Nicole Kidman would be more choosy though. Liana Liberato puts in a solid performance and is a star of the future.
ericrnolan "Trespass" (2011) isn't a bad movie – it's competently made. There's good acting all around, especially from the incomparable Nicole Kidman.It's just too goddam sad and depressing at times (with little emotional payoff afterward) to be extremely enjoyable. The pacing also seems way off. There are several times you think the movie is over, and then more emotionally draining violence against unarmed victims ensues. That's kinda not a good thing here. The film also suffers a little in comparison with the terrifying recent horror film, "The Strangers" (2008).I'd give "Trespass" a 6 out of 10.https://ericrobertnolan.wordpress.com/
Guy TRESPASS asks an important question about which is more fake: Nic Cage's hair or Nicole Kidman's face? By the end you won't care because this is a film of staggering awfulness. Plot: A rich husband and wife are trapped in their super-expensive house by thieves who want the diamonds hidden in their wall safe. It's a perfectly fine idea but it's sunk by the combination of dire acting, boring direction and contrived plot twists that make no sense; the attempt to visually imply a prior affair between the wife and one of the robbers is especially hilarious; in flashback she looks like his mother, whilst he looks like a shaved ape who hit the gym. None of the characters are remotely attractive or believable. Don't waste your time.
