It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Trespass (1992) *** (out of 4) Vince (Bill Paxton) and Don (William Sadler) are firemen from Arkansas who get control of a map, which apparently has the whereabouts of a treasure in St. Louis. They travel to an abandoned building there searching for this lost gold but they see a gang land murder and now they're going up against some criminals.Walter Hill's TRESPASS isn't the greatest film ever made but it's certainly an entertaining one as long as you're able to turn your brain off and just sit back and enjoy. The film is pretty much an action version of THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE mixed with a blaxploitation style. A lot of people have called the film a junk "B" movie with a lot of stereotype and perhaps that's true but the cast is so good that you can overlook the flaws and enjoy the film for what it is.This is pretty much an action movie that takes a couple rednecks, throw them in a ghetto and have them going up against some gang bangers led by Ice T. The film manages to work due in large part to the cast who are certainly very entertaining. Paxton was always great at playing good guys and he does a nice job here with the role of a guy who isn't always the smartest. The real delight comes from Sadler who gets to play a somewhat good guy who will stop at nothing for the gold. Ice T. isn't great here but he certainly has a presence on the screen and that makes him watchable. Ice Cube, Art Evans, Bruce Young, Glenn Plummer, Tommy Lister and Stoney Jackson are all good in their supporting parts as well.For the most part Hill does a nice job with the direction but I think the film would have worked more had it ran about ten-minutes shorter and it had a tighter editing job. I thought the film would have benefited from a bit more drama as there's a lot of screen time devoted to both sides just screaming at each other. More suspense would have been a major benefit. But, as I said, while there are flaws with TRESPASS there's no question that it's at least entertaining and worth watching.

Two firemen from Arkansas (Bill Paxton and William Sadler), after seeing an elderly man burn in flames having prayed for forgiveness beforehand, find an old article about his hiding a treasure in an abandoned building in East St. Louis, Ill., and go there to find it. Trouble is, a black gang led by King James (Ice-T) and Savon (Ice Cube) have killed one of their own with the firemen as witnesses. In addition, a homeless old man named Bradlee (Art Evans) is also there. Not to mention James' younger brother, Lucky (De'voreaux White) among others. I'll stop there and just say this was very exciting from beginning to end thanks to the screenplay by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, music by Ry Cooder, and direction by Walter Hill. So on that note, Trespass is well worth seeing. P.S. I just found out this is the same Art Evans that played Blind Lemon Jefferson in Leadbelly which I watched a few weeks ago.

Eager beaver Vince (a fine performance by Bill Paxton) and his more cynical buddy Don (the always excellent William Sadler) are two Arkansas firemen who stumble across a map to a fortune in gold. Vince and Don go to a rundown derelict factory located in a dangerous East St. Louis ghetto neighborhood to retrieve the loot. They find themselves in considerable jeopardy when they run afoul of a lethal gang of drug dealers led by the ruthless King James (a superbly menacing Ice T) and his hot-tempered right-hand man Savon (Ice Cube in peak surly form). Don and Vince manage to abduct King James' crippled junkie brother Lucky (a nicely twitchy De'voreaux White), which leads to a tense cat and mouse stand-off between the two opposing groups. Director Walter Hill relates the narrative hurtling along at a constant breakneck pace, expertly milks a maximum amount of suspense from the absorbing story, and stages the stirring action scenes with his trademark fiery brio and striking style. The tight, edgy script by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis makes a bleak and potent statement about how greed and power lust bring out the worst in people while making a radical departure from the standard action picture formula: There are no clear-cut distinctions between the good guys and the bad guys in this dark tale of betrayal and disloyalty; instead we've got a handful of desperate folks who all find themselves neck deep in a whole lot of trouble. The film further benefits from the uniformly sound acting from a tip-top cast: Paxton and Sadler have a sturdy, relaxed rapport, Ice T and Ice Cube spar with each other with rip-snorting gusto, plus there are stand-out turns by Art Evans as bitter, hapless old bum Bradlee, Stoney Jackson as the suave Wickey, Bruce Young as smooth gun dealer Raymond, Tommy "Tiny" Lester as the hulking Cletus, and Gwenn Plummer as itchy trigger man Luther. Lloyd Ahern's slick cinematography and Ry Cooder's rattling, rousing bluesy score are both solid and effective. The last third of the movie is especially gripping and exciting. A bang-up little beaut.
