Review of Trespass (1992) by Ken S — 07 Jul 2011

This shit does have an explanation.

Two men from Arkansas hear about gold hidden in a warehouse in the big city. The warehouse is in the inner slums of this city and vacated only by a couple homeless individuals. Shortly after beginning their search of the warehouse for the gold, a local gang enters the building and kills one of their members they believe is an informant. When the gang discovers the two men from Arkansas may be witnesses to the crime, they try to kill them. If the men from Arkansas want their gold, they're going to have to earn it.

Walter Hill, director of Undisputed, Last Man Standing, Supernova, Johnny Handsome, Wild Bill, 48 hrs., Another 48 Hrs, Red Heat, Brewster's Millions, The Warriors, and Southern Comfort, delivers Trespass. The storyline for this picture is okay and entertaining for an action pick. The action scenes are okay but nothing special overall and the acting was on par for the genre. The cast includes Bill Paxton, Ice-T, Ice Cube, William Sadler, Art Evans, and Tommy Lister.

"Fuck the god damn gold.".

"Fuck you.".

Trespass was a movie I had never seen all the way through. It is a movie that is fairly good and straightforward but doesn't deliver anything that makes it stand out for the genre. There are no characters that you feel invested in, no comedic lines, and no worthwhile action sequences. This is only worth your time if you're a diehard fan of the action genre.

"Ain't nobody king of the streets.".

Grade: C+.
