TRESPASS

     NICOLAS CAGE  NICOLE KIDMAN  LIANA LIBERATO  BEN MENDELSOHN  
     CAM GIGANDET

KYLE MILLER (CAGE) IS A SUCCESSFUL DIAMOND DEALER.  ONE NIGHT, HIS HOUSE GETS INVADED BY A GANG OF BURGLARS, LED BY BROTHERS ELIAS AND JONAH 
(MENDELSOHN AND GIGANDET.)  MILLER'S WIFE SARAH (KIDMAN) AND DAUGHTER AVERY (LIBERATO) ARE ALSO HELD CAPTIVE BY THE GANG.
I WAS EXPECTING SO MUCH MORE FROM THIS MOVIE, BUT GOT NOTHING BUT DISAPPOINTMENT.  THE STORY IS THIN, THERE ARE SOME HUGE PLOT HOLES AND IN GENERAL, THE ACTING IS SO OVER THE TOP IT ALMOST BECOMES HARD TO WATCH.  THERE ARE INCONSISTENCIES IN THE CHARACTERS: SARAH, WHEN HIT ON BY JONAH, REBUFFS HIM FORCEFULLY YET WHEN DEALING WITH THE GANG SHE BECOMES A SCREAMING MESS; KYLE, WHEN PUSHED BY ELIAS, ACTS SCARED AND COWARDLY, YET THEN HE DOES A COMPLETE TURNAROUND AND BECOMES A STRONG FIGHTER.
ON THE PLUS SIDE, I THOUGHT MENDELSOHN DID A GOOD JOB AS THE LEADER OF THE GANG: FOR THE MOST PART HE REMAINS SUBDUED AND DETERMINED, MAKING ELIAS SEEM THAT MUCH MORE MENACING.  YOU PROBABLY SHOULD SKIP THIS ONE.
