Trespass (2011)

Kyle and Sarah are two husbands owners of a luxury villa, drive expensive cars and in their house is a safe in witch they have money and diamonds, that is why they put price on the security and invest in alarm systems and monitoring. Sarah also deals with the renovation of the property and thus attract prying eyes of its employee, Jonah a handsome worker who has the nerve to swim in their pool and make advances on her. But Jonah is not just an employee, he informs his older brother Elias about the wealth living of husbands Miler. They team up with a few more people and barge one day over the house and threatens with death if they do not open the safe. Their daughter went to a party this time but she comes home soon and without knowing what their parents pass through, she joins their torment. Although Kyle worries about his life and his family, he decides to take action against thieves and not open the safe but his trust in Sarah is questioned when she supposedly had an affair with their employee Jonah.

The movie does not live up to expectations although playing two great names of cinema. It is predictable from start to finish, with some annoying scenes with screams and fights and none of the characters doesn't look credible in the role that they play.

Fmovies: I was curious to watch "Trespass" because of the interesting casting of Nic Cage and Nic Kidman. I was a bit wary about Nic Cage, as his films lately have been a bit on the hammy side. Despite his leery reputation though, it is a wonder that he continues to get a lot of work, but good for him. Another curiosity about this film was the name of Joel Schumacher as director. His was a big name in directing box-office hits in the 80s and 90s. The last of film of his I had seen was when he directed Gerard Butler as "Phantom of the Opera."

"Trespass" turned out to be a film about a family whose beautiful suburban house was intruded upon by a gang of desperate amateur robbers. The robbers were quite violent and brutal the way they treated diamond trader Kyle Miller (Nic Cage), his glamorous wife Sarah (Nic Kidman) and their rebellious young daughter Avery (Liana Liberato). Things got a little more complicated when it was revealed that one of the robbers Jonah (Cam Gigandet) had a psychotic crush on Sarah.

The performances were over the top and unconvincing, both of the victims and the intruders. Nicole Kidman reminded me of her debut performance in "Dead Calm" as the victim of a psycho guy in love with her. However, she definitely loses her subtlety as well as any sexual tension as a victim here. Nicolas Cage was typically florid in his acting. You don't know where from his business background he got his extreme gung-ho bravado in facing these robbers! It was good to see Liana Liberato again after her memorably disturbing debut film "Trust." She had her good moments here. Cam Gigandet was appropriately creepy as the deluded Romeo. Jonah's brother and gang ringleader Elias was well-played by Ben Mendelsohn, whom I just realized was one of the sons in another crime family in "Animal Kingdom."

This was probably one of the noisiest movies set in a single house that I have seen. Everyone was always hysterically screaming and shouting at the top of their lungs. Despite the brutality of the robbers, it was a wonder how the victims also had the guts to stand up to them. The Millers were daringly answering and fighting back in spite of the guns brandished by the bad men in their faces! I must say this whole thing was highly improbable and unrealistic. Watch this at your own risk. Strictly for fans of the two Nics.

One of the worst movies of always good Nicol Kidman and Nicolas Cage. Very mediocre movie, pretty slow developing and no tense pace. About all action goes in one place without any changes regarding drama development. Pleas of the tortured and tyranny of the robbers is about what is going on in most of the movie. But dull plot development is not the most surprising thing in this look like five days shot movie. It is an acting of a great actress Nicol Kidman. I have never seen her acting that bad. As a matter a fact, she is bringing the finest charm to every movie but in this one she looks like an actress just taught how to look hysterical most of the time and that goes for most of the scenes with her. So no, I do not hate this movie, I just felt like falling a sleep from time to time which I find very strange considering the synopsis.

Trespass fmovies. Terrible! Terrible! Terrible! Don't waste your time. Too many parts make no sense. This guy has that kind of security and then lets someone who says they are the police in the front gate without checking? He hides 100k in a construction part of the house, that they are renting? Wouldn't a construction worker find it? He is willing to die for this money, then ends up lighting it on fire? How many times was he shot? Then he is able to stand up and start shooting the nail gun that all of a sudden starts working? There are so many bad parts that make little sense.I found myself having trouble watching almost from the beginning. Poorly written. Poorly directed. Totally unbelievable! This movie must have been written by a 5 year old.....with a crayon.

This is the kind of film you should choose when you just want to relax and be entertained. It's not an epic but then - come on lets be honest - Nick Cage's films seldom are. However, they are nearly always enjoyable and even though I can never take him too seriously because of his southern drawl (he never really manages to convince that he is desperate or afraid, does he?) this one is still very watchable.

Accent aside, he gives a good solid performance. (Nicole Kidman, on the other hand, turns in a surprisingly weak one.) The plot is pretty standard, very predictable, but I for one enjoyed it right up to the end so in my opinion it delivered.

I can't imagine Nicole Kidman agreeing to do this movie. I like Nicolas Cage as well, and I can understand why, as mentioned in your trivia, he was unsure of playing either the role of the husband or the robber in this film. He was probably trying to save his reputation but realized playing either part would be an embarrassment. This is a terrible, terrible movie in every way.

The plot is very weak, and the acting is poor. Throughout the film, we are force fed gratuitous violence.

When choosing to watch a movie that I am unfamiliar with, the actors are usually the deciding factor. After watching this movie, I need to rethink this strategy.
