Trespass- Joel Schumacher


Nicholas Cage stars in the heart pounding crime drama Trespass, where a family must face a home invasion of deranged criminals. The plot to rob this very wealthy family took a lot of planning, and a lot of balls. They are after whatever is behind the door of the safe, but the only way to open it is by the thumb print scan of Kyle (Cage). But he is not going to give that up so easily. With a plot of his own Kyle is willing to put the safety of his family in danger to protect his assets. What trick is up your sleeve this time Mr. Cage. I am guessing that by living in a house that is as secure as Fort Knox he has always had a back up plan if anyone breached his fortress. And i am assuming that in the end a premeditated scheme will blow our minds, and the mastermind will find a way to overcome adversity.

The story line seems to get complex as the motives of these thieves becomes undone. This team was out stalking Kyle as he was out doing the usually high roller business. Jonah Collins is a familiar face for the Miller family and as he saw Kyle signing for diamonds and exchanging cash with associates in the open he grew more and more motivated to take action. There will be quite the stand off in this one. Kyle will have to debate the intentions of these ski masked villains. Will his family be safe? How the hell can he turn the tide going against a gang of thugs with shottys and nothing to lose? That's an easy question, because he's Nicholas Cage and he can bullshit his way through anything. But from the trailer it looks like Nicole Kidman does a lot more fighting than him and he's just there for moral support. And then you give that man a chair and he just turned into your worst nightmare. Good save Kyle.

I can't find a reason for this movie to be top notch. Especially when its release date is smack dab in the middle of a lot better titles coming out. If your into these types of movies then you will probably enjoy this one. The 2005 film Hostage shares a similar story line. Not that great of a movie even though it featured Bruce Willis. So if you enjoyed that then Trespass will most likely hit on the same note. Movies like these always have a fair share of nail biting moments that will have you yelling "Get the hell out of there!". Or it could have you yelling "Ya ok, like that would ever happen". I tend to stick with asking the question "Dude, just kill him". Most of the time, when a movie raises questions not based on the complexity of the storyline, it tends to be crap. So we may need to stock up on aerosols before October 14th.

Grade Prediction: F (43%)
Rating: R
