GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The Movie Diorama Joel Schumacher should not be making films anymore. He is outdated. He has expired. He is an amateur at best. Perhaps prominent in the late 80s, it seems he has turned his eye as of late to generic claustrophobic thrillers, after his success with 'Phone Booth'. Yet, unable to replicate that film's success, he continues to gnaw at my sanity in the darkest depths of Hollywood's basement with this atrocity. A married couple are taken hostage by a group of extortionists who believe there is a large stash of money and diamonds hidden in the home. Ninety minutes of Nicolas Cage shouting "Run Sarah! Run! Sarah Run! Runnn! Sarah! Run Sarah! Sarah! Sarah! Go! Run! Runnn! Go Sarah! Sarah! Gooooo! Run! Sarahhhhhhhhhh! Sarah Go Run Go Run Run Run!" as he exhumes a colossal amount of confidence given the situation he encounters. He didn't look remotely frightened in the slightest! Just breathing heavily with such excitement that eventually he exclaims (to the robbers) "A million dollars? Yes, that's right, kid! YOU DID IT! YOU HIT THE MOTHERLOAD!" in his usual Cage freaking out trademark. As I'm writing this, I'm crumbling into laughter at just how poor this thriller was. Gajdusek's screenplay consists of the same two scenes looping each other in what seems like eternal damnation. "I am not opening the safe" to "see if you can escape". Simply just calling each other's bluff and then attempting to flee, on repeat, for the whole film. The antagonists were less villainous than a swan. The plot "twist" had no impact and was utterly convenient. Where are the thrills to be had? Where is the onscreen chemistry? Why are Kidman and Mendelsohn in this abomination? Why is Schumacher still making films? Why am I watching this!? It isn't a home invasion film, it's a masterclass on how to overact. Scream, flail your arms around and breathe intensively whilst simultaneously crying. Poor direction, poor editing, poor script, poor performances and poor plot. Seriously, is there anything worth stealing from this poor film?

Kamil Yellowfield Don't know why this was put into the rubbish bin by people. Sure, it is no masterpiece, and nothing original, but movies are supposed to entertain and it does exactly that. I watched this with my missus when our first choice of a film did not work. but glad to see it instead.Almost all takes place in one location, but delivers. Do not get disheartened by the low ratings and give a chance when in mood. you won't be disappointed.Normally not keen on mr Cage, but he is rather superb here. Cannot decide whether the lady was really nicole kidman, or someone else, though. She looked very thin. and much older than i remembered.

hodwatt-20518 The biggest problem with 'Trespass' is that I found the villains to be extremely weak. They try to act tough but you get the sense that they are just a bunch of cowards, because they keep backing away; for example when Nicholas Cage's character refuses to open the safe, the head bad guy runs up and points the gun at Nicole Kidman's head to try and scare him into opening it, but you can tell that he isn't going to shoot her. He has plenty of excuses to kill someone throughout the film but doesn't take advantage of any, because he (Ben Mendelsohn) and the rest of his crew just don't have it in them to cause any serious harm. It really takes any tension out of the film. If you want my advice, skip this one and go and watch the Spanish home invasion thriller, 'Secuestrados' (Kidnapped). It has a very similar premise to Trespass but it is much more tense and frightening, because the villains in that film are extremely ruthless. You get the sense that they have little to no regard for human life and will sop at nothing to get what they want. In this sense, it is much more visceral and stomach churning. I didn't care much for the main characters in this film. Nicholas Cage comes across as an idiot and you actually want to see him die, which is frustrating since he doesn't. I did find the subplot of Nicole Kidman having had an affair with one of the baddies, but that didn't do much to save this highly forgettable film. The daughter (Liana Liberato) is your classic annoying teenaged girl who I also wanted to see die. To be honest I wanted everyone dead early on so this film would be over.So there you have it, I'm not recommending this film, but go out and see it if you really want to. It's important to make up your own opinion...

Adam Peters (13%) After about ten minutes the invasion happens, then you start to wonder "what trick, or tricks, has this got under its hat?". Then after forty or so minutes you horribly realise that there aren't any. None at all. If this were the very first home invasion movie ever then everything would be fine and dandy. But after "Funny games" (the original, not the pointless remake), the gripping and very well made "Panic room", or even the family classic "Home alone", this just looks like the product of someone who doesn't give a damn. Not only has the plot been done before and better, but the characters are as off the shelf as any cheap cotton T-shirt. Cage is a workaholic businessman with little time for his family, Kidman is a ignored, bored housewife, the teenage daughter just wants to go to a party with her friends, and the bad guys are just plain bad, and nothing more. It couldn't be any more lazily assembled if it tried. Cage at the very least tries, but even he knows there is very little point to this utterly generic waste of time, effort and talent.
