CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

NateWatchesCoolMovies Walter Hill's Trespass could raise a pulse in a quiet graveyard, it's so relentless. It's one of those single location, breathless siege thrillers where two unlucky dudes, this time Bill Paxton and William Sadler, are barricaded in some unfortunate building while hordes of inner city criminals try to smoke them out. Billy and Willy are two firemen in the wrongest of places at the wrongest of times, led to a dilapidated St. Louis warehouse in search of a hidden cache of stolen gold. When one of them stumbles into a gangland assassination, the two are immediately branded as witnesses and hinted like dogs by boss King James (a snarling Ice-T), his lieutenant Savon (Ice Cube) and armies of their men. That's pretty much the premise, and simple as it is, action maestro Hill turns it into a ballistic bloodbath that barely slows down for a second once it gets going. Paxton and Sadler are soon at each other's throats in a feverish haze of adrenaline, whilst the two Ices argue amongst themselves about tactical logistics. Yelling, shooting, running, borderline parkour, cat and mouse games, beloved 90's action tropes and fight scenes that almost wind the audience as much as the characters. This is a lean cut of a film, concerned only with thrilling the pants off the viewer, hurtling by at a locomotive's pace without rest until that final shell casing hits the pavement.

jcbutthead86 Trespass is great and intense Action-Thriller that I have loved since I saw it as a kid on home video in 1993. In my opinion,this movie is an underrated,overlooked and entertaining Action-Thriller one of Walter Hill's best films.Trespass is the story of two Arkansas firemen named Vince(Bill Paxton) and Don(William Sadler) who when trying to put out a fire are given a treasure map by a man who kills himself in the fire. Vince and Don sees that the treasure map locates a money's worth of gold in a abandon factory in east St. Louis,Illinois. When Vince and Don get to the factory, the two witness a murder by a crew led by local crime lord King James(Ice-T). After the murder, Vince and Don Kidnap King James' little brother Lucky(De'Voreaux White)and are caught in a standoff with King James and his crew where it's not about who's good or bad but about survival on both sides.Trespass was originally supposed to come out in the summer of 1992 and was called Looters,but because of the L.A Riots that happened that summer the film was pushed back to a later release date and renamed Trespass. It's a shame that Trespass was pushed back because Trespass is an excellent film that works so well. Trespass is the kind of Action film that you don't see anymore,a fast,brutal Action film that gets more and more intense as the film goes on. I love the fact the film takes place in one setting,the setting being an deserted,dirty old warehouse where you feel like that no one can escape or get out and you feel like the walls are closing in on the characters. The film is very dark with intense claustrophobia and urban atmosphere that just comes off the screen when you watch it and when you look at the film you will feel like you are in the warehouse with the main characters going through the same things they're going through. With The characters in the film no one is depicted as good or bad,but somewhere in between with a gray area,whether it's Vince and Don looking for the gold and trying to survive or King James and his crew trying to take out Vince and Don. The issue of race is brought up in the film,but,only briefly with the Black characters calling Vince and Don White boys. Now,I can see why Universal pushed the film back to a Winter release instead of coming out during the dark and violent Summer of 1992,because this film would've added fuel to the fire and to the racial tensions at the time of the L.A. riots. Walter Hill has said that every film he's made is a Western and that applies to Trespass,whether it's the standoffs and confrontations or Vince and Don looking for some buried treasure.It's not the 1870s or 80s,but you can see the Western influence all over this film. The movie is said to be an update of the John Huston classic The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre which depicts desperate men looking for gold and running into corrupt Mexican lawmen. It's pretty much the same story,but the differences between Trespass and that film is that this one takes place in the big city,the desperate men are firemen and the corrupt lawmen are tough gangsters. The screenplay by writers Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale is well-written with good dialog. You wouldn't think the creators of the Back To The Future would write an urban Action-Thriller,but Zemeckis and Gale succeed with this film. This isn't the first time Hill and Zemeckis worked together,both directors were producers of the Horror show Tales From the Crypt,so this collaboration makes perfect sense. The Action in the film is fast and explosive and you will see the Walter Hill trademarks in this movie,slow motion,use of glass and guns that are loud and make an impact. The ending of the film is Action-packed,intense and very surprising and it is a wonderful and memorable conclusion to Trespass.The actors do a wonderful job as well. Bill Paxton does an excellent job as Vince who's optimistic and somewhat naive,but likable. Ice-T does a fantastic job as King James and is believable as the crime boss. William Sadler is wonderful as Vince's friend Don,bringing a fiery anger to the performance and portrays Don as a guy who wants the gold at all costs. Ice Cube great as Savon,one of King James' associates and a hot head who wants to desperately take out Vince and Don for being witnesses. Art Evans gives a wonderful standout performance as Bradley a homeless person who becomes an ally with Vince and Don and brings most of the humor to the film. De'Voreaux White gives a wonderful performance as Lucky,King James' little brother. Stoney Jackson is fantastic as Wickey,King James' right hand man. Bruce A. Young is great and memorable as Raymond,a man that supplies King James with some of his big guns. Glenn Plummer(Luther),T.E Russell(Video),Tiny Lister(Cletus),John Toles-Bay(Goose)and Bryon Minns(Moon) give good performances as well.Walter Hill's direction is great,giving the film an intensity and atmosphere and Hill does a great job with the Action scenes which are excellent,explosive and well-done. Great job,Walter.Ry Cooder's score is wonderful and gritty and adds to the film's intense story. The film also has great Hip-Hop songs on the soundtrack from Ice-t and Ice Cube(Trespass),Public Enemy(I gotta do what I gotta do)and Sir Mix A Lot(I Check My Bank).If you're a fan of Walter Hill and Action films I highly suggest you check out Trespass and watch it. You won't regret. Highly Recommended. 10/10.

tavm Two firemen from Arkansas (Bill Paxton and William Sadler), after seeing an elderly man burn in flames having prayed for forgiveness beforehand, find an old article about his hiding a treasure in an abandoned building in East St. Louis, Ill., and go there to find it. Trouble is, a black gang led by King James (Ice-T) and Savon (Ice Cube) have killed one of their own with the firemen as witnesses. In addition, a homeless old man named Bradlee (Art Evans) is also there. Not to mention James' younger brother, Lucky (De'voreaux White) among others. I'll stop there and just say this was very exciting from beginning to end thanks to the screenplay by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, music by Ry Cooder, and direction by Walter Hill. So on that note, Trespass is well worth seeing. P.S. I just found out this is the same Art Evans that played Blind Lemon Jefferson in Leadbelly which I watched a few weeks ago.

preppy-3 Two firefighters (played by Bill Paxton and William Sadler) find a map that leads to stolen gold. It's located in a huge abandoned factory. Unfortunately it also happens to be where a band of black drug dealers have their headquarters. Soon it's blacks vs. whites to the death.A dynamite thriller on full throttle--full of non-stop swearing, plenty of gun fights and gruesome killings. The plot doesn't really make a lot of sense but once this movie kicks into gear you won't care. The action is virtually non-stop and there's a loud pounding music score that propels the movie along. There's also some intentionally funny humor in here so it's always clear that this is not to be taken seriously. The acting is mostly just OK--but who watches this for the acting? Paxton is the only one who gives a really good performance. The only debit here is that the movie constantly keeps switching from color to b&w (the POV of a gang member filming all this). It's jarring and unnecessary.This was a bomb at the box office and didn't hit it big on video either. That's really too bad because it's one of director Walter Hills best film. Tough, violent and exciting. An 8 all the way.
