Trespass
2011 Directed by Joel Schumacher
Synopsis
When terror is at your doorstep. You can run. Or you can fight.
Kyle (Nicholas Cage) and Sarah Miller (Nicole Kidman) 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 (he brokers diamonds) and their teen daughter Avery (Liana Liberato) 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?

There once was a jolly ol' Joel
Who buried Batman deep in a hole
And now with ol' Nic and Nicole
He may have robbed me of my soul -
I could write a review about how this movie is disappointing but survives because it has a lot of talent in it.
But then I'd be telling a lie. It's just a mediocre bunch of crap.

A ridiculous brainless boring film. Nicholas Cage gives his worst performance to date along side a cast of characters as uninteresting as a plank of wood. Plot lines are picked up and dropped at randoms. The characters make no sense. The only positive is the teenage daughter is hot. A truly ugly film in every department.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A boring film about about a house robbery staring Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman. It fell a sleep on the film 2 nights in a row before I finally finished it. Don't bother with this one people.

Film A Day #35 (4/1/2012)
I love Nic Cage, but man, this was horrible. Cage is worth watching, like always, but he's paired with a bland Kidman, and the film only really comes alive in a small moment when, in a flashback, Cage looks like he genuinely enjoys using a nail gun.

No se por que imagine que podria ser mejor (a lo mejor fue por Nicole Kidman), pero tiene todo lo necesario para ser una pelicula mala: un thriller con una trama sobreusada, Nicolas Cage y el director de Batman & Robin. No la recomiendo aunque no haya nada mas que ver en la TV (como me paso a mi).

Brainless though it may be, Trespass is immensely entertaining. The hostages and hostage takers are on an even footing throughout, both too incompetent to accomplish almost anything. Nicole Kidman is the most sympathetic presence here, and it's delightful watching her chemistry opposite a smoldering, Schumacher-exploited Cam Gigandet. Nicolas Cage is bad, naturally, but everyone here is at the very least serviceable in their roles. The twists and turns are goofy, but it's a speedy and enjoyable 91 minutes.

So stupid and so pointless and yet so infuriatingly hilarious. It's basically a waste of time but if you enjoy Nicolas Cage being awesomely ridiculous in a bad wig and Nicole Kidman overacting then this is your jam.

After watching Birdemic, The Room, Plan 9, and Manos: Hands of Fate, I thought that I was almost impervious to hating really bad movies. I've grown a sort of fondness for movies with absolute bottom of the barrel quality. They lie in a special place in my heart.
The same goes for Trespass: a horrifically bad and inept mishmash of random moments that they just barely contain into becoming a story. The moments go to such ridiculous places that you'll wonder if the script was some sort of out-bullshitting contest between Karl Gajdusek and whoever his collaborators are.
As is usual for the Nicholas Cage movie nowadays, Nic's acting consists mostly of him screaming a lot about how either they…

Es ist schon erstaunlich, dass Joel Schumacher (8mm, Nicht auflegen) doch noch mehr kann als überdrehte Batman-Filme zu drehen. Sein Thriller ist zwar wahrlich kein Meisterwerk, doch durchweg spannend und mit interessanten Wendungen inszeniert. Dies liegt vor allem an dem überzeugenden Spiel von Nicolas Cage (Con Air, Das Vermächtnis der Tempelritter). Er verkörpert Kyle mit einer Intensität, die man nur selten von ihm gesehen hat und schafft es seinen Kampf um das Leben seiner Frau und sein eigenes Leben, sowie um seine Habseligkeiten packend zu spielen und dabei sogar mal mehr als nur einen Gesichtsausdruck drauf zuhaben.
Auch seine Filmfrau Nicole Kidman (Panic Room, Dogville) spielt gut. Insgesamt gesehen spielt Kidman zwar ein klein wenig schwächer als Cage, doch gelingt…

Not nearly as bad as everyone says but it's not really good either. Bad dialogue and a plethora of misdirection attempts make this forgettable movie easily avoidable.

Hitaasti tempoilevaa jännäri-trilleriä yksinkertaisella idealla. Vaikutteita havaittavissa mm. Panic Roomista. Alkukiiman jälkeen jännitysmomentti katoaa, eikä uuteen seisokkiin anneta mahdollisuutta.

It was okay. Cage was horrible to watch as usual but it rekindled my love for Cam Gigandet. Every cloud.
