Overrated and overhyped

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

First of all I'd like to talk about the casting, Nicole Kidman and Nicholas Cage were perfect in this film, they fit their roles really well. Also Cam Gigangent really did well in his role too. Also the girl that played Nicole Kidman's and Nicholas Cage's daughter was very good, and displayed some real talent. There might have been a few moments or Nicholas Cage might've over acted a bit, but those moments were very brief and rare, so they were overlooked easily. Joel Schumacher is one of my favorite directors, and once again he has impressed me with a great film. This movie has great action sequences, plot twists, and very intense suspenseful moments! Even the dialogue was pretty good, I didn't really enjoy the constant profanity, I thought the film could've toned that factor down, but other than that I enjoyed it. If you enjoy a good suspenseful home invasion flick I think this is the one for you! 8/10

This movie was okay, i really only watched it because of Cam, whom was the character of Jonah. He was pretty good but there should've been a bit more story line to it. It's almost cliché that he used to work for them and knew they were rich. Defiantly has happened a lot of times i'm guessing. I would've rather him try to be with his Nicole kidman's daughter. I don't know why but it would seem more interesting - besides they seem more realistic not this 28 year old dude trying to get a married woman, seems too easy. I did like the criminals though, it seems a bit more realistic, problems - fights and betrayal, seemed like a normal hit man kind of thing. It's almost weird how Cage's character knew his wife was having an affair, well that's what i got from it. overall i was there for Cam. So i guess it was okay.

First of all, let me inform you that this film holds the (dubious) honour of being the quickest cinema release to go straight to DVD (just over two weeks). The reason, sadly, was that it hardly set the box office ablaze and the filmmakers were desperate to try and recoup some of the money they obviously had to fork out for Cage and Kidman.Trespass is part of this new genre of thriller/horrors, known as 'home invasion movies.' Basically, a gang of unlikeables enters a lovable family's home and threatens them/robs them etc. Will Mr and Mrs Average survive and dish out some well-deserved retribution along the way? In the case of Trespass, who cares? It's a pretty basic film - basic plot, basic script, basic characters and even basic acting from two stars who should know better. The characters spout clichés - the robbers shout, the hostages scream and any small plot development or motivation you can see coming a mile off (I won't give anything away, just in case you don't).It's not the worst film of its genre by far. I didn't feel like I'd totally wasted an hour and a half of my life. It's just it should have been better, bearing in mind who was in it. I don't know what Cage and Kidman were thinking, agreeing to star in this.Bottom line - it'll never be more than 'just okay' (and there was something severely strange about Nicholas Cage's hair - I couldn't put my finger on it).

In this cliché fest from Joel 'Batman And Robin' Schumacher, a rich husband and wife are held hostage by thugs in their home, who want the contents of their safe. A needlessly convoluted and deeply boring situation plays out, filled with backstories, exposition and head banging tedium. If it wasn't for Nicole Kidman's noble efforts and the occasional burst of tension this could easily be a 0. There's nowhere to hide with this film. This is just a terrible, terrible movie in almost every way. Everyone involved should be ashamed, except for Kidman. Nicolas Cage, a year after his return to form in Kick-Ass, goes back into shouty, overacting mode and makes a fool of himself yet again as he goes into a performance so predictably maniacal it's not even fun anymore. Meanwhile, everyone else is terrible in this, and Joel Schumacher's direction is less interesting than a blank sheet of paper.The truth is, this isn't really entertainment. It's like being locked in a tight space with someone who hasn't washed for a month yelling and screaming in your face for 4 hours. It's a mean spirited and repetitive film which I'd already half forgotten the next day. I was so bored I was half asleep during the second half. With many clichés and no thrills at all, Trespass is lacking in any fun or excitement at all. Thankfully there is justice in the world after all, and this bombed at the box office. Rarely has a film deserved to bomb more than this useless, lame, lifeless garbage. The film does nothing but scream at you for 90 minutes and a result it feels like 190 minutes. A painfully dull film which should only be watched if you're having difficulty sleeping, this is so lacklustre and tedious there really isn't a lot more to say that hasn't already been said. In a year full of awful films, this undoubtedly one of the worst. Still, this is supposed to be a claustrophobic thriller and it's so bad when watching the film it can feel claustrophobic so they manage to let the audience emphasize with the characters. That's...something I guess.1/10
