Firefighters Vince (Bill Paxton) and Don (William Sadler) venture into gang-infested territory to find gold that's been hidden inside an abandoned building. But when they witness a murder, they become the targets of crime lord King James (Ice-T) and his underling Savon (Ice Cube). Fortunately, the treasure hunters have kidnapped a bargaining chip: King James' half-brother, Lucky (Devoreaux White). But this might not be enough to get them -- and their gold -- out of the building intact.

4/4

Hill is one of the most proficient directors in Hollywood when it comes to using editing as an expressive tool.

There's something bracing about the utter amorality of Trespass.

In a season dominated by bloated blockbuster wannabes, it's easy to respond to the lean-and-mean B-movie pleasures of Trespass.

8.5/10

Paxton's performance utilizes his tremendous gift for taking a mild-mannered average man, placing him on the razor wire of a moral dilemma, and watching him twist and turn as his ethics fall to the wayside and he has to fight to survive.

Surreal touches recall Hill's Streets of Fire, but this time the director's tongue is so far back in his cheek we can't be sure when he's kidding.

3/4

In his best action films, director Walter Hill employs an economic, fast-paced style that obscures whatever faults might be found in the script. He works that magic again with Trespass.

Different from Walter Hill, Tresspass shouldn't be this good. Violent, action packed, and very interesting, a movie like this is a rare gem, in an overcrowded genre. It does have a predictable storyline and it can be offensive at times, but all around decent film and definitely worth the watch.

What an enjoyable film about a simple heist/plan that gets way out of hand. It was also nice to see the rewards go to the person who needs it the most

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, o filme tem cenas de ação boas, mas o local desses filmes hood, não por ser em cidade grande, tem ser igual a boyz in the hood e friday, e também set it off.

Super underrated 90s thriller. Zemeckis and Gale wrote a killer story and the cast and crew pulled off a really thrilling experience! Great experience.
