Trespass tells the story of a seemingly rich family who gets burglarized. Cage plays the diamond-dealing dad, and none of his decisions make sense in the face of such violent trespassers. And as a viewer, the budding story is already too stupid for me to wonder what everyone's hiding. None of the characters had me rooting for them.
So what did the makers of Trespass think would gain interest from potential viewers? Would neglectful dads and husbands identify with Cage's character. Maybe there's a huge demographic of dudes who want to see Nicole Kidman as a smart, seemingly rich housewife, threatened with guns, knives, needles, and rape. What about the obsessive cult following for the hunter bad vampire from the first Twilight movie, who want to see him as a psychotic junky human?
Those are Trespass's only selling points, and the algorhythm was right about this deserving flop. Readers take heart. The masses aren't always asses.
