as two firemens come Across a map with a treasure hidden in a warehouse. and the day they choose to arrive to the warehouse there was a gang rival negotiation going on, and they got all caught up and decided to fight back and to come up with plans after plans on how to escape.. i really loved this film, and i think most of you will too. conisdering the cursing and swearing and at times the racist jokes, this is still a great film, not for kids though -
MCT:August 7, 2008In 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 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 saw this movie one day on a Sunday. It is terrible and beautiful at the same time. Ice Cube does have one redeeming movie, and this it it folks. It would get more stars if not for the presence of Ice-T, the worst none rapper and human being alive today.

MCT:February 21, 2008This was some good action, good actors at the top of their game and a great story. All of this equals a great thriller of a movie.

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.

MCT:January 17, 2008I 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 asses.

While the plot at first glance might seem a bit outrageous, the movie is pulled off without to many hitches. What I like about the movie is the human emotion and interaction between the characters. This was truly a great casting choice on all levels.

This movie was surprisingly intense. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see a good action movie.

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.
