"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME

Trespass | 1992 | R | - 0.8.8

Bill Paxton and William Sadler star as two small-town fire-fighters who are searching for buried treasure in an abandoned building in a big-city neighborhood of East St. Louis.

SEX/NUDITY 0 - None.

VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - More weapons and gunfire than in most war movies: the gangsters seem to be adding more weapons to their arsenal by the minute. Two murders in which victims are beaten, shot and then thrown down through several floors of the building. One suicide and several more killings as a result of gunplay and explosions. A few old-fashioned fist fights. Also one disturbing scene in which a character stabs another in the neck with a needle loaded with heroin.

LANGUAGE 8 - Lots of profanity, ranging from the scatological to the F-word.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Greed, revenge, suicide, drug addiction, corruption and betrayal, and racial stereotypes.

MESSAGE - Money (as well as lust for wealth) will corrupt many and may blind you to dangers, as well as to the "right path" in life.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
