The real estate agent Kyle Miller (Nicolas Cage), his wife Sarah (Nicole Kidman) and their teenage daughter Avery (Liana Liberato) live in a fancy dream house. Out of the blue, four violent hooded thieves break in their house and hold the family hostage expecting to get money and diamonds from the safe, in a tragic night of terror.
The Spaniard-French "Secuestrados" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1629377/) is a brutal and bleak combination of "The Desperate Hours" and "Funny Games". I am a big fan of Joel Schumacher and Nicolas Cage, but unfortunately I have to recognize that they both are decadent.
"Trespass" is an awful and dull remake of "Secuestrados". Instead of the brutally graphic and realistic home invasion with the family man needing to withdraw money from the family bank accounts of the European film, this remake shows annoying screaming and crying with the usual unrealistic exaggeration and lame heroism of the American movies, with diamonds and a huge amount. My vote is one (awful).
Title (Brazil): "Reféns" ("Hostages")
