- A home-invasion flick that grabs viewers by the throat and only stops squeezing long enough to wipe sweat from its palms.
- 70VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonHelmer Joel Schumacher and a game cast headed by Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman do their damnedest to build and sustain suspense while trying, with some degree of success, to breathe fresh life into a formulaic, even generic scenario.
- 63The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColeThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColeTrespass is at least a suitable rest stop for his (Cage) anguish. An unapologetic B-movie that comes with lots of flashbacks, gunplay and shouting, it can easily be savoured and forgotten inside 90 minutes.
- 58The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe A.V. ClubNathan RabinTrespass begins loopy and mounts in craziness until it's frothing-at-the-mouth insane. It's hard to sustain that level of inspired lunacy over the course of 90 minutes, but Trespass is up to the challenge. As always, it's foolish to underestimate the appeal of Cage at his most agreeably unhinged.
- 50Boxoffice MagazineSara Maria VizcarrondoBoxoffice MagazineSara Maria VizcarrondoIt's never boring but the relentless twists do get a bit tedious.
- 50Village VoiceMelissa AndersonVillage VoiceMelissa AndersonA home-invasion movie as instantly forgettable as its title, Trespass is not without disturbing images: namely, Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman as spouses.
- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA home invasion thriller that may set a record for the number of times the characters point loaded pistols at one another's heads. First we're afraid somebody will get shot. Then we're afraid nobody will be.
- 40Time OutKeith UhlichTime OutKeith UhlichTrespass is assembly-line product through and through - unabashedly mediocre and instantly forgettable. A Joel Schumacher joint, in other words.
- 25Slant MagazineSlant MagazineA jerky, clamorous domestic thriller that attempts, with nonsense and expletives turned up to full volume, to say something thrillingly profound about the depths of misery one can reach while doing financial damage control.
