When you need cheering up, look no further than a Nicolas Cage movie. I went looking for some Cage wackiness and I found a pretty cool ass movie. So this time we find Cage as Kyle a dude that deals in diamonds, he's married to Sarah played by Nicole Kidman, and has a daughter Avery. Sure dad works a lot and little Avery is out playing with big boys, but otherwise everything is coolio, until the night the cops show up at the front door, and ooops they weren't cops, they were robbers, coming for Kyle's diamonds. Led by Elias, Ben Mendelsohn, who's an awesome actor, the group barge in and want Kyle to open the safe not so well hidden or people will die, and that's when everyone's dirty laundry comes rolling out, like... Kyle has no diamonds, maybe? Sarah has been banging one of the robbers, maybe? the whole thing is a setup, maybe? One of the robbers is off his meds and is a little well, not himself, maybe??? It really was a cool intense thriller, multiple layers of backstabbery. Long live the The Cage!!!Filmbufftim on FB

First of all I'd like to talk about the casting, Nicole Kidman and Nicholas Cage were perfect in this film, they fit their roles really well. Also Cam Gigangent really did well in his role too. Also the girl that played Nicole Kidman's and Nicholas Cage's daughter was very good, and displayed some real talent. There might have been a few moments or Nicholas Cage might've over acted a bit, but those moments were very brief and rare, so they were overlooked easily. Joel Schumacher is one of my favorite directors, and once again he has impressed me with a great film. This movie has great action sequences, plot twists, and very intense suspenseful moments! Even the dialogue was pretty good, I didn't really enjoy the constant profanity, I thought the film could've toned that factor down, but other than that I enjoyed it. If you enjoy a good suspenseful home invasion flick I think this is the one for you! 8/10

TRESPASS asks an important question about which is more fake: Nic Cage's hair or Nicole Kidman's face? By the end you won't care because this is a film of staggering awfulness. Plot: A rich husband and wife are trapped in their super-expensive house by thieves who want the diamonds hidden in their wall safe. It's a perfectly fine idea but it's sunk by the combination of dire acting, boring direction and contrived plot twists that make no sense; the attempt to visually imply a prior affair between the wife and one of the robbers is especially hilarious; in flashback she looks like his mother, whilst he looks like a shaved ape who hit the gym. None of the characters are remotely attractive or believable. Don't waste your time.

First of all, let me inform you that this film holds the (dubious) honour of being the quickest cinema release to go straight to DVD (just over two weeks). The reason, sadly, was that it hardly set the box office ablaze and the filmmakers were desperate to try and recoup some of the money they obviously had to fork out for Cage and Kidman.Trespass is part of this new genre of thriller/horrors, known as 'home invasion movies.' Basically, a gang of unlikeables enters a lovable family's home and threatens them/robs them etc. Will Mr and Mrs Average survive and dish out some well-deserved retribution along the way? In the case of Trespass, who cares? It's a pretty basic film - basic plot, basic script, basic characters and even basic acting from two stars who should know better. The characters spout clichés - the robbers shout, the hostages scream and any small plot development or motivation you can see coming a mile off (I won't give anything away, just in case you don't).It's not the worst film of its genre by far. I didn't feel like I'd totally wasted an hour and a half of my life. It's just it should have been better, bearing in mind who was in it. I don't know what Cage and Kidman were thinking, agreeing to star in this.Bottom line - it'll never be more than 'just okay' (and there was something severely strange about Nicholas Cage's hair - I couldn't put my finger on it).
