Trespass (2011) (2011)
Kyle and Sarah Miller have it all: a huge gated house on the water, fancy cars, and the potential for romance in their relationship. He's just back from a business trip (he brokers diamonds) and their teen daughter Avery is sneaking out to a party, when four thugs in security uniforms and ski masks stage a home invasion. They want what's in the safe: cash and diamonds. Kyle stalls them, trying to negotiate for Sarah's freedom. Over the next few hours, the back stories of the four robbers (two brothers, a girlfriend, and the representative of a local drug kingpin) as well as the fault lines in Kyle and Sarah's marriage come into play. Is there room here for heroism?
When terror is at your door, you can run, or you can fight.
Jonah: Fingerprint scanner? You know, you're gonna put your thumb on that thing sooner or later. The only question is, whether it will still be attached to your body.

Production was disrupted on August 3, 2010 when it was reported that Nicolas Cage had abandoned the project as he had allegedly insisted on switching roles from Kidman's husband to the kidnapper. The role was then offered to Liev Schreiber. However, the following day Cage resumed his role as the husband.
This film broke the fastest-ever-from-theaters-to-Home-Video record previously held by 2003's From Justin to Kelly (2003). That film took 29 days to get to DVD, Trespass made it in only 18.
The film had a budget of $35 million, but it grossed a disappointing $24,094 in North America (from a total of ten theaters) and was pulled from theaters after only ten days.
Andrzej Bartkowiak's first film as a cinematographer since Thirteen Days (2000). Before shooting that film, he directed his first film, Romeo Must Die (2000), and subsequently decided to become a director full-time, directing four more films. He was convinced to return to cinematography by director Joel Schumacher, with whom he'd worked on Falling Down (1993).
Final film directed by Joel Schumacher before his death in 2020.
Continuity
Early in the attempt to make Kyle open the safe, Ty racks the slide of his shotgun twice before ever taking a shot. The second time should have ejected a shell.
Factual errors
Nail guns have a safety feature that keeps them from firing without putting pressure on the tip, which means Kyle couldn't have fired it like a gun.
Suxamethonium IS a paralytic agent, but it has no anesthetic or analgesic properties. The paralysis from 'sux' is so profound that respiratory muscles are paralyzed - so anyone dosed is likely to die from asphyxiation. In addition, the half-life of sux is pretty short - just a few minutes in normal subjects. So in summary, a character given the sux would be paralyzed for a few minutes - completely aware of anything done to them, and possibly die from asphyxiation.
Revealing mistakes
Rubber knife. Bends against her throat when she is breathing, more than once.
Miscellaneous
After Jonah is nail-gunned through the boot to the burning money, he has a fairly lengthy exchange with Sarah, yet the fire at this point should have already engulfed him and made such casual conversation impossible.
When Jonah stops Avery from picking up the nail gun, he says it's not technically a nail gun until it's turned on. He should have said until it's plugged in.
Character error
While it's true that the diamonds are the hardest material on Earth, they can be smashed with a hammer or a pistol handle as they are brittle as all hard materials.
