ryko25 Baffling. Baffling how this film got made, baffling what the director thought he was trying to say, baffling how this script was ever considered adequate and baffling that Fassbender and Gleeson saw fit to have anything to do with this utter turkey. The main problem is that there isn't anything even approaching a sympathetic character - they are all loathsome and this it is impossible to enjoy a single moment of anything that occurs. A total waste of time and effort.

eddie_baggins Whenever you have the skill-set of Michael Fassbender and Brendan Gleeson at your disposal there's going to be a certain level of expectation attached to your product and while first time director Adam Smith and screenwriter Alastair Siddons story has many possibilities attached to it, this English set family drama that mixes in uneasy crime and comedy undertones is a highly disappointing affair.Trespass Against Us starts out in promising fashion as we're thrust into the caravan lives of the Cutler family led by Gleeson's matriarchal figure Colby, with his right hand man and son coming in the form of Fassbender's Chad, but things within Smith's film start to fall apart as we become aware that the film is finding it unnaturally tough when it comes to balancing the various plot threads and strands that are flowing through the veins of the picture.We're thrown around from random robberies, car chases, family dramas and animal killings without much care for making us in fact care about what's going on and at the end of the day Smith's film that initially seems like something cut from a different cloth ends up being yet another poor criminal trying to be better than his upbringing suggests and also acts out another disappointing experience from Michael Fassbender's recent career lull.A few years ago on the back of breakouts in Hunger and Inglorious Basterds then star making turns in 12 Years a Slave and Shame, Fassbender seemed likely to enter into another stage of his career only to be central to disappointments like Assassin's Creed, Light Between Oceans and The Counselor and while his actual performance as Chad here is one of his best in a few years, it's a shame the talented performer is starting to frequent feature films that are far from matching his undeniable talents as a leading man.Final Say – There's some nice things happening through Trespass Against Us but they're moments that are few and far between when we are emotionally unattached from a majority of the films occurrences and while Fassbender is working hard and Gleeson is as stoic as ever, this small scale family crime drama is a hugely disappointing experience that was disguised as a fresh take on a familiar scenario.1 ½ fire extinguishers out of 5

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of an outcast criminal family, who lives in a trailer park somewhere in the United Kingdom. The main character's life is plagued with problems, as they have a controlling father, a mentally challenged brother and two children who grow up under a dubious environment."Tresspass Against Us" reminds me of "Captain Fantastic" because of their outcast status and unconventional lifestyle and the focus on the effect on the children's lives. "Tresspass Against Us" tells a more diverse story, as the entire family structure contribute equally to the story. Despite the mostly small time criminality and their obvious disrespect for the authorities, I still have developed much sympathy towards the family's hardship and challenges. I am touched by the Kel' determination for the children to be in school, and by the memorable ending. It is sad that the downfall is brought on by a human trait other than serious criminality. I find this film charming and engaging.

Alan Fassbender is a good actor as is Brendan Gleeson and the story is a good one.It is hard to understand what they say & i am Scottish!! It's all gypo ( gypsie) talk and anyone from anywhere else other than the UK is going to have a hard time with this - subtitles needed :)The story is a well trodden one - where the main character wants to change his life but is enmeshed in the culture he was brought up in and it's taking him down.Some good car chases - even through fields!! Someone said it has no redeeming qualities but ultimately it's not Hollywood and there are no happy endings. A good gritty story with tension and a fair bit of action - food character study - Fassbender does a good job here.
