Watch Trespass For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

When you need cheering up, look no further than a Nicolas Cage movie. I went looking for some Cage wackiness and I found a pretty cool ass movie. So this time we find Cage as Kyle a dude that deals in diamonds, he's married to Sarah played by Nicole Kidman, and has a daughter Avery. Sure dad works a lot and little Avery is out playing with big boys, but otherwise everything is coolio, until the night the cops show up at the front door, and ooops they weren't cops, they were robbers, coming for Kyle's diamonds. Led by Elias, Ben Mendelsohn, who's an awesome actor, the group barge in and want Kyle to open the safe not so well hidden or people will die, and that's when everyone's dirty laundry comes rolling out, like... Kyle has no diamonds, maybe? Sarah has been banging one of the robbers, maybe? the whole thing is a setup, maybe? One of the robbers is off his meds and is a little well, not himself, maybe??? It really was a cool intense thriller, multiple layers of backstabbery. Long live the The Cage!!!Filmbufftim on FB

Somewhat hacked off that it has taken me 15 minutes to find out that you cannot review via your iPad, and via browser is not the easiest. In fact leaving a review is as painful as watching this movie, contrived, painful, more trouble than it's worth and not worth the effort. The only reason I am bothering is to save somebody the trouble of losing a chunk of their life watching this drivel. Clichéd, formulaic and boring to the point of inducing a coma. I really like Nicolas Cage, starred in some great movies like snake eyes and con air, but he is really just taking the pay check in the last few years and like some other great names like De Niro & Pacino, it is sad to see. not that Cage is in their league.

Nicolas Cage has been on a bad movie streak for a while now. Every now and then he makes a winner, but most are forgettable B-movies that he agrees to do for a paycheck: You can't blame the man for doing his job. However, not all B-movies are bad - in fact, they're ideal entertainment if you want to sit back, relax, and shut off your brain for a couple hours. Trespass provides that mindless entertainment in spades, with a few head-scratches along the way.The premise of Trespass is simple: Nic Cage plays a diamond dealer who lives in a beautiful house with his wife and daughter, and some thugs break into the house one day to steal his stash. Nicole Kidman plays his wife who feels distant from her hard-working husband, and the daughter is a typical rebellious teen that sneaks out and goes to a party behind her parents' back. Nothing special. What makes this movie interesting is the performances. Cage taps into his subtlety - something he rarely does these days - which helps the tension and uneasiness of the atmosphere build until he finally bursts (on more than one occasion). And you never really know what is going through his head. These characters have secrets, all of them, and herein lies most of the film's faults.The villains in this movie are a mixed bag. Each of the burglars have their own agenda that we find out over the course of the movie through the use of flashbacks and security cam footage. Some of the reveals are a pleasant surprise, others leave you scratching your head. It gets to the point that they're trying to intertwine all these villains' motives together but it ends up feeling forced and underwhelming. However, it is nice that they tried to do something different. Also Ben Mendelsohn's performance as the lead maniac and his eccentric back-and-forth between Cage really adds to the gravity of the situation and makes for a gripping protagonist-antagonist dynamic.So to wrap up, this is not a thinking man's movie. You can try to put all the pieces together at the end but you'll only end up confused and disappointed - it's not worth the effort. The best thing you can do is grab some popcorn, turn off your brain and watch the events unravel before your eyes. You won't remember this movie as one of Cage's best that's for sure, but it's far from his worst. A good date movie? Sure. It's only 90 minutes, and if you're a fan of Nicolas Cage, you'll surely get at least some enjoyment from Trespass.

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).
