Chad Cutler (Michael Fassbender) is heir apparent to his bruising criminal father, Colby (Brendan Gleeson) and has been groomed to spend his life hunting, thieving and tormenting the police.

While it’s tricky to pin down exactly what Trespass Against Us means to be, it’s easy to enjoy what it actually is. Read full review

Dynamic storytelling and powerful performances bring out the pathos in an unusual tale of conflicting loyalties set on the criminal edges of a travelling community. Read full review

It’s a crime drama chewed up by a cheeky sense of humor — or, maybe it’s a quirky comedy set against the miserable campgrounds that lie on the fringes of the criminal underworld. Read full review

It’s a so-so affair offering momentary pleasures. Read full review

Plotless and illogical. Read full review

Instead of exploding into crime-clan war, the picture trickles into a kind of shrugging, "it is what it is" look at life on the wrong side of the law. Read full review

Though many bad movies are simply depressing, Adam Smith’s Trespass Against Us is so exceptionally bad that it at least has this bright sidelight: Unless 2017 turns into a truly disastrous time for movies, it may be the worst of the year is already here. Read full review

Its decent for a euro crime drama, and as I enjoy that genre, I enjoyed it somewhat. It is not a super exciting movie but there is some action, and the two lead actors do well enough with their characters that it keeps you into it.

It is not a super exciting movie but there is some action, and the two lead actors do well enough with their characters that it keeps you into it. Its pretty much about a group of misfit-criminal types who live in an RV park ? in Ireland somewhere and how the main character is trying to leave that life and do something more with his life, while the pull of his dad goes against that who wants to keep him there with the group. Good, but not great crime-drama.… Expand

This is a British crime-drama, about a family with the criminal background. The happily married son with two children, wants to get out of what his family used to and have a normal life. Since they all live close by, he had a hard time escaping from it. Sooner or later he has to make a decision on behalf of his family, particularly thinking the future of his kids. Yeah, this storyline seems interesting, but not the same as you watch it. Great cast, no doubt on that. Even basic plot, the theme is a confident boosting thing, if anyone watching the film are in one way or another is in the similar position.

The film lacked from developing on what the opening had initiated. Nice characters, though. I expected something to remember about the film, like emotionally or the events with twists and turns. This is not a bad film, but a simple one. So not everybody would get disappointing of it. All I think is a fine opportunity was missed out. That means I blame the screenplay, despite the actors and director tried their best to turn it out as much as possible decent to the better. So don't ignore it as it is rated low and for bad reviews. It's just not a film that everybody would feel they are satisfied with.

Dose Fassbender pick movies from a dart board or something?

And did Sean Harris seriously drop out of 'American Gods' to star in this? Because running around with a chicken is quite interesting.

A boring family and criminal drama that neither Michael Fassbender nor Brendan Gleeson can bring up to a good port.

C'est vraiment un film bizarre sorti d'on ne sait où (du fond, non du fion ou des tréfonds, non des tréfions de quelqu'un ou quelque chose...) écrit par je ne sais pas qui (m'est avis que c'est un alcoolique) et boulotté par n'importe qui (une bande de baltringues à mon avis) quand on voitC'est vraiment un film bizarre sorti d'on ne sait où (du fond, non du fion ou des tréfonds, non des tréfions de quelqu'un ou quelque chose...) écrit par je ne sais pas qui (m'est avis que c'est un alcoolique) et boulotté par n'importe qui (une bande de baltringues à mon avis) quand on voit ces romanouches dans la campagne rosbif qui jouent au chat et à la souris avec les flics ?!...

Le vieux (Gleeson) et son fils (Fassbender) s'engueulent entre deux cambriolages tandis que toute cette smala de traîne-savates meuble dans cette connerie de film sans histoire ni scénario ni dialogues et même s'il donne l'impression que ces trois choses, ces trois ingrédients du "cinéma" existent, il n'en est rien en réalité, car ce tas de merde poussif à dormir debout, ce vague, très vague salmigondis soit-disant psycho-social est un tel étron à suivre qu'on ne le finit même pas, y compris en avance rapide ! bref, faut évacuer cette offense de nullité très offensante dans la benne la plus proche.… Expand
