The addition of TRESPASS to the Toronto International Film Festival lineup, as a Gala presentation no less, seemed an unusual move for the prestigious fest, with the film already slated to make it’s DVD/Blu-ray debut on November 1st, making this essentially DTV fare. Sure enough, DVD is exactly where TRESPASS belongs, as it’s a truly routine, B-grade thriller, that offers nothing you haven’t seen done better in films like PANIC ROOM.
Famously, Nicolas Cage walked off the set of this film last year- and having seen the finished product, I can see why, as it pales even alongside some of his recent, less inspiring work. If he’s going to make the comeback many of us are pulling for, TRESPASS is exactly the type of disposable fare he needs to skip.
It’s doubly tragic that TRESPASS co-stars the once great Nicole Kidman, who last came to TIFF with the excellent RABBIT HOLE. What a difference a year makes, but I wonder if the filmmakers involved might have thought TRESPASS could have ended up as more than DVD fare. It’s directed by Joel Schumacher. Make fun of him all you like for his bad BATMAN films, he’s also directed some great ones, like THE LOST BOYS, FALLING DOWN, and TIGERLAND. Heck, I’m one of the two people who even liked THE NUMBER 23, but this seems to be Schumacher just phoning it in.
Put Cage, Kidman, and Schumacher together in a vehicle that’s clearly below them, and you have a film that’s about as much fun to watch as your average TV thriller. In the eighty-five minute run-time, virtually nothing happens that you won’t see coming a mile away. Gee, think ignored housewife Kidman might have a past relationship with hunky criminal Cam Gigandet? Hmmm, is Cage’s daughter going to return home early from her party? Hey, why is the female robber constantly stripping down to her lingerie? Oh wait, isn’t she an ex-stripper? Oh OK, nevermind.
In an echo of the lunatic performances at which he once excelled, Nicolas Cage plays Kyle, a wheeling-dealing diamond broker struggling to pay for his family’s exorbitant lifestyle. So preoccupied he barely notices pleas for intimacy from wife Sarah (Nicole Kidman), he’s seconds away from hearing a portentous “we need to talk” when thieves con their way into his home.

Displaying an unsettling familiarity with his domestic details and a fondness for nasty, shouted threats of violence, the intruders nearly come unglued when Kyle refuses to comply with some of their demands. As he works frantically to negotiate, having decided these twitchy thugs intend to leave no witnesses alive, the dynamics grow more complicated: Though she doesn’t admit it for a while, Sarah appears to have a history with one of the masked men; meanwhile, daughter Avery stumbles back from a party just in time to join a round-robin in which each family member hears a version of the ultimatum, “do X or I’ll kill Y.”

Nathan Amondson’s production design is lurid with conspicuous consumption, so garish it seems to raise the temperature in the rooms where weapons are brandished and wall-safe combinations demanded. Cage’s performance is feverish and thrillingly brazen, but he’s nearly matched by Ben Mendelsohn, who as the ringleader is less purely evil than he was in Animal Kingdom but more overt in his intensity.
