I'm not in the hate club. It isn't the worst film I've ever watched. Nicole Kidman was wasted and I often found myself thinking "why did you do that?" I don't want to watch it again though lol
4.5/10 at a push.
Nicole was wasted, I agree. And yes, what happened to Nicholas Cage?? One of my favourite films ever has to be Face-Off so I'm sorely disappointed in his latest offering. I quite enjoyed the movie (I'm a lover, not a hater) to be honest...even though I did feel it dragged on a bit.....until I realised the reason why Cage was being a complete sonofa.... and was holding off from opening the safe was because.. [spoiler]it was empty!!!![/spoiler]
Other than that, I'd have done the psycho baby brother - can't be bothered to google his name but I've seen him in other films - because he's so cute.
Saw this with hormonal best friend who gave it 2/10 (only because I got her the popcorn she likes, otherwise 1/10

)
As for me, a hearty 5/10

Yay! Die, haters, die!
Only kidding. Glad to have encouraged some balance though.
Btw I haven't seen the "How much would you be prepared top p*y for this on DVD?" question on feedback forms for a while. 50p springs to mind. Lol

Well, saw this in Edinburgh Vue this pm.
It was OK as far as I was concerned as I was in brain dead mode and would have watched anything for free!
Story was drawn out - they'd have made a better job and shorter film if they'd made it "in real time", 24 style!
Noticed the brother with the moustache was the same Australian that played the really evil brother in Animal Kingdom earlier this year in a less violent (?!) role! He was just about credible, shame about the rest of them.
It's a sad reflection that I thought, just kill them all and it will end - I didn't have any compassion or care about them at all. The back story in short flashback didn't work as you didn't know them enough to care or side with them.
4/10 from me.
OH says 1/10 and it was the same story and just as bad as the Rebecca de Mornay film with the same story earlier this year - Mother's Day!

I know it's got mostly negative reviews, but i do wish Sky had done a screening in other cinemas for London.

hehe, I gave it a 3/10 - think I'm positively in the 'like' camp (relatively speaking

).

It wasn't a brilliant movie but I wouldn't call it dire either, just average.

One thing I do have to say is that I quite like the booking arrangements for this film. There are a good range of dates and times to see this and I appreciate the flexibility.
Having to sit through a packed out Immortals at Greenwich which started 45 mins late probably soured my mood towards the film. I didn't have such negative feelings at the beginning of Trespass (probably a small saving grace for the whole experience). It had a few trailers, started on time and the room wasn't packed at all.

Does anyone know the password for Trespass? It's now on the Sky Movies Screenings page for non-Sky subscribers but I don't know the password! Cheers
Actually, when I hover over 'What is this' near the password bit it says 'The event password for Soul Surfer is SURVIVOR' so I'm not sure if the page is ready yet.

We all enjoyed the film, not an Oscar winner by any means, but enjoyable.
I prefer the way Sky offered this film, so much choice ! I hope they continue to do films this way.
