Trespass

We have a rich and happy family: husband, wife & daughter. Well, they're not too happy: daddy isn't home enough (because he works too hard), mummy is home alone too often (and drinks too much) and 15-year old daughter Avery has a mind of her own. You know something's going to happen to this family and since Trespass is presented as a hostage thriller, you'll know there will be a hostage situation.

Nothing wrong with that. The first twenty minutes (daughter sneaks out off the house to visit a party, villains sneak into the house and start threatening the couple) aren't that bad, but somebody must have had the brilliant idea to turn the whole thing upside down every 10-15 minutes or so. We get one ridiculous plot-twist after the other and what could have been a decent straightforward thriller, is turned into a laughable, nearly incomprehensible mess.

I don't know what happened to Joel Schumacher. I've never been a real fan of this director, but Falling Down was a provocative study of paranoia, and 8MM and Phone Booth were undistinguished, but enjoyable suspense movies with a nasty edge. Trespass is just nasty. It's not enjoyable and has no edge. The score is as bombastic as the movie itself, even though there's a guy called Mendelsohn (!) in the cast.

One critic wrote: Those who expect that Nicolas Cage will start shouting his lines in an enunciated way won't be disappointed. The real problem is that everybody is shouting in this movie. Everybody, yes even Miss Botox Kidman. My advice: a script doctor for the screenwriters, and a shrink for the actors.
