The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeSep 14, 2011
A home-invasion flick that grabs viewers by the throat and only stops squeezing long enough to wipe sweat from its palms. Read full review

VarietyJoe LeydonSep 14, 2011
Helmer Joel Schumacher and a game cast headed by Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman do their damnedest to build and sustain suspense while trying, with some degree of success, to breathe fresh life into a formulaic, even generic scenario. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColeOct 6, 2011
Trespass is at least a suitable rest stop for his (Cage) anguish. An unapologetic B-movie that comes with lots of flashbacks, gunplay and shouting, it can easily be savoured and forgotten inside 90 minutes. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan RabinOct 12, 2011
Trespass begins loopy and mounts in craziness until it's frothing-at-the-mouth insane. It's hard to sustain that level of inspired lunacy over the course of 90 minutes, but Trespass is up to the challenge. As always, it's foolish to underestimate the appeal of Cage at his most agreeably unhinged. Read full review

MovielineAlison WillmoreOct 14, 2011
Trespass is best received as an almost viable B-movie that just happens to have A-list leads. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleOct 13, 2011
Trespass never advances beyond being a grand manipulation. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleOct 13, 2011
In the end, Trespass steps all over its own genre strengths. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertOct 12, 2011
A home invasion thriller that may set a record for the number of times the characters point loaded pistols at one another's heads. First we're afraid somebody will get shot. Then we're afraid nobody will be. Read full review

Village VoiceMelissa AndersonOct 11, 2011
A home-invasion movie as instantly forgettable as its title, Trespass is not without disturbing images: namely, Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman as spouses. Read full review

Boxoffice MagazineSara Maria VizcarrondoSep 19, 2011
It's never boring but the relentless twists do get a bit tedious. Read full review

Time OutKeith UhlichOct 11, 2011
Trespass is assembly-line product through and through - unabashedly mediocre and instantly forgettable. A Joel Schumacher joint, in other words. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliOct 16, 2011
Trespass is a home invasion movie, but not a clever, taut one; it's sloppy and obvious, with curves so un-serpentine they might as well be straightaways. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen HoldenOct 13, 2011
So why? Why would stars of the magnitude of Mr. Cage and Ms. Kidman sign on to a project whose screenplay is so inept that the movie, even if profitable, will stand as a career-impeding setback? Can't they read? Read full review

Boston GlobeWesley MorrisOct 13, 2011
One of those movies that an audience knows is terrible the minute it starts. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaOct 13, 2011
An astoundingly senseless thriller. Read full review

ObserverRex ReedOct 11, 2011
How many ways can a film go wrong? Too many to list, and Trespass finds them all. Read full review

Slant MagazineR. Kurt OsenlundOct 10, 2011
A jerky, clamorous domestic thriller that attempts, with nonsense and expletives turned up to full volume, to say something thrillingly profound about the depths of misery one can reach while doing financial damage control. Read full review

SalonAndrew O'HehirOct 13, 2011
Can someone explain what Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman are doing in a chaotic and sadistic home-invasion thriller, shot in digital colors so radioactive they appear to have leaked out of the Fukushima nuclear plant? Read full review

New York PostKyle SmithOct 14, 2011
Cage and director Joel Schumacher, who has fallen so far from the A-list that he provokes a demand for new letters of the alphabet after Z, have each found their cinematic soulmates. Read full review
