Trespass Reviews
It gets increasingly worse as it progresses, heightened by terrible acting all around and a poor script.
| Original Score: F+ | Sep 8, 2017
Starting with writer Karl Gajdusek's inane screenplay, the film is a hodgepodge of clichs that gets worse and worse as it goes along. So bad it's almost wonderful, this is one motion picture that almost needs to be seen to be believed.
| Original Score: .5/4 | Jan 27, 2012
Cloth-eared dialogue saps the tension, while the plot twists with the likelihood of a Brett Ratner rehearsal session. Leave your disbelief at the door.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 18, 2011
Cage performs with the conviction that comes from a long experience in bad movies. But Kidman seems totally uninterested.

The opening 20 minutes are enjoyable enough, but then pure lameness causes the whole thing to come to pieces.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 10, 2011
The script has "insert clompingly stupid backstory" written into every speech.

As terrible movies go, it's not unentertaining - once you surrender to its trashmeister idiocy.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 8, 2011
An overheated mess, a thriller with no thrills that allows everyone involved to play up their worst tendencies.
| Original Score: 1.0/5.0 | Oct 14, 2011
As things fall apart, the bellowing starts and Trespass turns into a repetitive cycle of characters being dragged around at gunpoint and occasionally beaten, it grows numbing and difficult to invest in the fate of anyone on-screen.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 14, 2011
I wished a bottle would roll by so I could stick an S.O.S. in it.
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Oct 14, 2011
Is "Trespass" the moment when we give up, and accept the path Nic Cage has chosen for himself? Or should we just keep averting our eyes, until he's done cashing easy checks?
| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 14, 2011
[A] putrefying piece of genre junk.
| Oct 14, 2011
It's a strange variety of entertainment that hooks you throughout and then leaves you nothing but glad that it's over.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 13, 2011
A belabored, often laughable melee of sound, fury and unnecessarily frenzied cinematography in which everyone yells, screams and threatens while any sense of dread quickly drains away.

In the end, "Trespass" steps all over its own genre strengths.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 13, 2011
You wonder what on earth inspired Cage and Kidman to sign on for this dreck, as you ponder how long Schumacher can possibly string this out.

Can someone explain what Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman are doing in a chaotic and sadistic home-invasion thriller, shot in digital colors so radioactive they appear to have leaked out of the Fukushima nuclear plant?

One of those movies that an audience knows is terrible the minute it starts.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 13, 2011
An astoundingly senseless thriller featuring Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman, and a band of masked goons. (The word thriller is used very loosely.)
| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 13, 2011
Trespass begins loopy and mounts in craziness until it's frothing-at-the-mouth insane.
| Original Score: C+ | Oct 13, 2011
