Critics Consensus

Another claustrophobic thriller that Joel Schumacher can churn out in his sleep, Trespass is nasty and aggressive, more unpleasant than entertaining.

It gets increasingly worse as it progresses, heightened by terrible acting all around and a poor script.

Rated: F+

Starting with writer Karl Gajdusek's inane screenplay, the film is a hodgepodge of clichs that gets worse and worse as it goes along. So bad it's almost wonderful, this is one motion picture that almost needs to be seen to be believed.

Rated: .5/4

Empire Magazine

Cloth-eared dialogue saps the tension, while the plot twists with the likelihood of a Brett Ratner rehearsal session. Leave your disbelief at the door.

Rated: 2/5

A mindlessly perfunctory and progressively annoying 1A thriller that barrages you with standoffs, fake-outs, double-crosses and twists, twists, twists!

Rated: 1.5/5

Deep Focus Review

As home invasion movies go, Trespass is a bad one, so bad even Cage’s usual over-the-top routine fails to eke out some entertainment value.

Rated: 1/4

I expected the film to be worse, but the beginning captivates you and gets your full on attention and it's good! Worth a watch. However with that being said at the end your left annoyed with all the characters and stupidity of the whole thing. Very annoying movie..

Love Nichole, but this movie is really bad. Starts out okay, but that drags so badly, that a 90-minute movie seems like 3 hours.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

The cast makes it and sells it. Overcasted for such a basic story that meanders along comfortably as slightly above average towards an ending that does not shock.

I'm from Italy and I'm not surprised to read that in my country it was directly distributed on home video. mediocre thriller in which there is not a moment of tension. There are no creative ideas in any technical sector, it looks like a TV film. Maybe Ben Mendelsohn's interpretation can be saved but at this point I'm not even sure...
