    I remember watching this on tv a long time ago in school. Staying up late and not watching everything as I fell asleep. Great film then, not sure about now.

    Ice T and Ice Cube run through their usual "gangsta" schtick as they try to dispose of inconvenient witnesses to a murder who hole up in an abandoned building. The result is a kind of diluted version of Assault on Precinct 13. Or Night Of The Living Homies. Not great, but not bad.

    In 1979, Walter Hill's "The Warriors" was nearly pulled from theaters because it was being blamed for violence all over the country. With 1992's "Trespass", Hill again was faced with controversy, but in the reverse form. Originally titled "The Looters", the movie was pulled from ...( read more)theatrical release BECAUSE of violence facing America at that time. Namely, the L.A. riots in the wake of the Rodney King trial. Renamed, and released nearly a year later, it's another tough guy movie from the director most famous for them. Bill Paxton and William Sadler are two Arkansas fireman searching an abandoned factory in East St. Louis for a fortune in stolen gold. They unwittingly get caught up in a gangland war when Ice-T and Ice Cube execute a rival in that very same factory. What follows is a cat and mouse game as the two fireman try to escape with the gold before the gangters become aware of its existence. It's a very claustrophobic movie set within the confines of the long abandonded factory. None of the characters are very likeable, but none of them are meant to be. It's a story about greed and power, and how far people are willing to go for each. Good performances all around, although Paxton and Sandler playing rednecks, and the Ice's playing ganstas probably aren't that much of a stretch. Director Hill keeps the action tight and close quartered, until the movie ends in, literally, a blaze of glory. No one does tough guy action like Walter Hill, and this is one of his best.

    I remember when this came out critics crapped all over it and I was in my "I listen to the critics" phase. However, I had to rent it for the double bill of Bill Paxton and Walter Hill and it was my first inkling that perhaps, just perhaps, most critics have their heads up their ...( read more)asses.

    I am being generous here believe me. I laughed in most of the "serious" places. More camp to me.

    A pretty solid action movie that had a pretty good cast. The action was pretty intense at times and the characters were rather interesting.

    This movie was tight!

    Hmm.. I remember I liked this movies when I was younger and a huge rap-fan. I should watch this again and see if I still like it as much as I did over four years ago. Some of the actors are great, of course William and Bill. I also like Ice-T and Ice Cube as an actors too.

    Average, mean-spirited shoot-em-up.
