As terrible movies go, it's not unentertaining - once you surrender to its trashmeister idiocy.
Top CriticIt's sloppy and obvious, with curves so un-serpentine they might as well be straightaways
I wished a bottle would roll by so I could stick an S.O.S. in it.
Is "Trespass" the moment when we give up, and accept the path Nic Cage has chosen for himself? Or should we just keep averting our eyes, until he's done cashing easy checks?
Schumacher makes it all look good - he can't help himself - but somehow that just makes it nastier.
[A] putrefying piece of genre junk.
Don't spend thirteen bucks on Trespass unless you're running from the cops and you need a place to hide, wait for it to hit VOD.
It's so routine that it's as if Joel Schumacher showed his final cut to producer Avi Lerner and said, "Avi, look, I put together a thing!" "You mean you finished the movie?" "No, it's not a movie, it's a thing.

People have been strung up for lesser crimes than this...
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.
The plot is overly complex and the tension frequently abated by the introduction of unnecessary flashbacks.
Someone should have told writer Karl Gajdusek that if you're going to pilfer it's best to take the gems, rather than filling your movie with stuff you found in the drawer marked "clichés".
Cage performs with the conviction that comes from a long experience in bad movies. But Kidman seems totally uninterested.
Laughably bad thriller that teeters on the edge of so-bad-it's-good territory, thanks to pointlessly flashy direction, a dreadful script, a ridiculous plot and some reliably bonkers over-acting from Nicolas Cage.
Trespass is a crime, and so is this movie.
It's the worst Nicolas Cage film ever. Which is saying something.
The opening 20 minutes are enjoyable enough, but then pure lameness causes the whole thing to come to pieces.
The script has "insert clompingly stupid backstory" written into every speech.
Yes, it's a mess.
Trespass is a bad film. It's also stupid fun.
A thunderously stupid home invasion thriller about a diamond dealer who has a wall-safe with the password 'diamond.' Yes, seriously.
...a missed opportunity of distressing proportions...
Why Does Nick Cage do these films?

"When terror is at your door, you can run, or you can fight."
If there were any justice in this world, Joel Schumacher would be done making movies after this abomination. He's made a few decent movies throughout his career, but there is no excuse for this. It's one of the worst movies you could ever force yourself to see. The cast is wasted, and again Cage picks a movie that he should have never been a part of. Same goes for Kidman. Liana Liberato is actually a decent young actress as well, and her performance is wasted on one of the worst scripts ever.
A husband and wife are taken hostage in their own home. Their daughter had just left for a party, but she will be back. The home invasion was supposed to take fifteen minutes, but it doesn't go as planned. Big surprise there. From there it is stupid plot development after stupid plot development, with godawful backstories to go along with everything. There's empty threat after empty threat. "I'm gonna fucking kill you!" "Do it then bitch mutherfucka. You won't." "You think I won't fucking kill you cause I fucking will you stupid little fucking bitch." "Do it mutherfucker" "Oh wait, I forgot I can't because I have to fill an hour and a half runtime, but I'll point a fucking gun at your head 417 fucking times. Maybe that'll work." And that's how the movie goes.
This is the worst Schumacher film ever. Yeah, it's worse then Batman & Robin in my opinion. When comparing the awfulness of those two side by side, it really doesn't even matter though. It's also the worst film either Cage(and he's been appearing in escalatingly awful films) or Kidman have been apart of.
Do yourself a favor and do not watch Trespass. It may look slick and stylish, but I guarantee you'll hate every second of this atrocious piece of shit. I'm trying to think of movies that were worse than this, that I've seen. Not many movies come to mind. It's down there with movies like Phantoms and Batman & Robin. Few movies can be this bad, but Schumacher knows how to make them.
