Critics Consensus

Another claustrophobic thriller that Joel Schumacher can churn out in his sleep, Trespass is nasty and aggressive, more unpleasant than entertaining.

Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online It gets increasingly worse as it progresses, heightened by terrible acting all around and a poor script. Rated: F+ Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 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. Rated: .5/4 Jan 27, 2012 Full Review Philip Wilding Empire Magazine 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. Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel A mindlessly perfunctory and progressively annoying 1A thriller that barrages you with standoffs, fake-outs, double-crosses and twists, twists, twists! Rated: 1.5/5 Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review As home invasion movies go, Trespass is a bad one, so bad even Cage’s usual over-the-top routine fails to eke out some entertainment value. Rated: 1/4 Mar 7, 2023 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn Incredibly entertaining. Nic Cage was at a 15 in this! Rated: 3/5 Jan 27, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Jeffrey P The cast makes it and sells it. Overcasted for such a basic story that meanders along comfortably as slightly above average towards an ending that does not shock. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Paolo M I'm from Italy and I'm not surprised to read that in my country it was directly distributed on home video. mediocre thriller in which there is not a moment of tension. There are no creative ideas in any technical sector, it looks like a TV film. Maybe Ben Mendelsohn's interpretation can be saved but at this point I'm not even sure... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Justin S If the amped-up damsel in distress nonsense doesn’t give you an instant headache, the waste of the talent brought in to execute this woeful movie will definitely have you reaching for the Nurofen. Even Nic has done much better things. Nuff said. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Audience Member Nothing wrong with a good thriller with a good cast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full Review John S Watchable. Some good story ideas, but badly handed - could/should have been miles better. Missed opportunity. Lousy ending. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Jake D Look: this is a Joel Schumacher thriller starring Nicolas Cage, where his opening lines are spent establishing that a lot of people don't understand that diamonds are worth money. At 90 minutes, you get your moneysworth. Ben Mendelsohn with a mustache loses control of his heist crew. Nic Cage goes full Cage a few times in unsuccessful attempts to get his family out of harm's way, before using blood loss as an excuse to stop trying. Nicole Kidman's first five lines are fully Australian and she spends the entire film including flashbacks completely barefoot. This movie doesn't understand how storytelling, fire, guns, or codes work. The performances range from earnest to underwhelming, none of the sequences are as tense as the movie clearly thinks they are, and the "twists" rely on people either lying or being mentally ill. It's not a good film, but it's short enough that it's never boring. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
