Critics Consensus: Trespass Against Us benefits from Michael Fassbender and Brendan Gleeson's typically strong performances, even when they aren't quite enough to balance the story's narrative drift and awkward tonal shifts.

The accents may not be perfect, but the sparring between father and son, with violence just underneath the surface, is convincing.
If palling around with a group of wastrel criminal types whose idea of fun is burning their possessions while running around shirtless chasing rabbits, then Trespass Against Us is the film for you.
The movie, lamely directed by first-timer Adam Smith, drifts from campground to fistfight, without much purpose or impact. The accents, thick as cold porridge, just drift.
A film like this needs sociological credibility, artistic distinction or, at the very least, interesting, engaging characters.
Director Adam Smith doesn't hit the mark with every chance he takes, but for the most part this is an admirable and successful effort.
Though thematically vague, thinly plotted and without a reliably sympathetic soul to cling to, the movie has a mutinous energy and an absurd, knockabout charm; even its violence is more quirky than brutal.
Trespass Against Us may not live up to the expectations that its two leading actors would bring, but it's still a modestly paced, entertaining drama.
It's lovely to look at and provides food for thought, but it never hits home emotionally.
A horrifying scenario but context is given that the hopelessness of their situation can be broken if there is the will.
Gleeson and Fassbender are class acts who bring an ever-mounting intensity to well-written and cleverly observed proceedings that turn out to be about education, defiance and power.
On-the-nose-ness, multiplied across the film's running time, undermines the film's sturdy dramatic arc and absorbing local texture.
The film has some charm but it's confused and, ultimately, unsatisfying.
