In a season dominated by bloated blockbuster wannabes, it's easy to respond to the lean-and-mean B-movie pleasures of Trespass.

Trespass
Overview
Two Arkansas firemen, Vince and Don, get hold of a map that leads to a cache of stolen gold in an abandoned factory in East St. Louis. What they don't know is that the factory is on the turf of a local gang, who come by to execute one of their enemies. Vince sees the shooting, the gang spots Vince, and extended mayhem ensues. As Vince and Don try to escape, gang leader King James argues with his subordinate Savon about how to get rid of the trespassers.

Director Walter Hill's handling of the action is fluid and kinetic, making the film a pleasure to watch for the expertness of its craft.
Variety Staff, Variety
Rotten
For the undemanding, it may seem a fair stand-off; but compared to Hill's best work, it's merely a jerk-off.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten
Everything in the screenplay seems arbitrary, including the firefighting jobs assigned to the two would-be treasure-seekers. They could as easily be magazine salesmen or amateur songwriters.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Rotten
Does Trespass have any lasting significance? No. Does it do anything particularly well? No, only skillfully.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
