Trespass (alternatively: The Rap Gang ) is an American action thriller directed by Walter Hill from 1992 .
action
Vince Gillian and Don Perry are Arkansas firefighters . During a mission, you get a map from an old man showing the hiding place of a gold pot. The old man prays for forgiveness and then falls into the flames. Perry researches and finds out that the old man stole gold from a church. Gillian and Perry drive to the hideout in East St. Louis . The treasure is said to be in an abandoned building.
However, the building is not that deserted. The homeless Bradlee lives here. They overwhelm him and captivate him. A short time later, they watch the King James gang use the house for a meeting where they murder an opponent. When they are discovered, they manage to bring Lucky, the half-brother of King James, into their power and entrench themselves with him.
King James brings reinforcements. The gang besieged the building and shot at the two firefighters with, among other things, precision rifles. Gillian and Perry meanwhile search the walls of the building with a metal detector and find the gold under one of the ceilings. In the course of the plot, more and more protagonists die in an exchange of fire, as the gangsters are also enemies with one another. The gold changes hands several times. In the end, King James and Don Perry shoot each other. The treasure falls into the hands of the homeless Bradlees, who laughs away. Vince Gillian survived, but received nothing.
Reviews
Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times of December 25, 1992 that the film neither distinguishes anything sustainable nor does the authors do anything particularly well. The characters are not shown in depth, their motivation is uncomplicated. The search for gold gives the film a special kick (“there is the lust for gold, which counts for something”).
Hal Hinson wrote in the Washington Post on December 25, 1992 that the film was "mindlessly brutal", "racist" and "tiresome". He is on the wrong side of the thin line that separates myth and formula.
Andreas Nowak wrote on Filmreporter.de : “" Trespass "has good moments and some interesting ideas, unfortunately there is a lack of implementation. Director Walter Hill ("Only 48 hours") shows his craftsmanship. If, for example, he lets a man crash into a railing five stories deep, the staging is technically perfect. The viewer can guess the physical force emanating from the fall. There are also no unmotivated depictions of violence. Another plus point is the harmonious atmosphere and the authentic dialogues of the gangsters. Unfortunately there is a lack of timing of the plot. The script by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis certainly has more potential than can be seen. This leads to scenes in which the viewer knows more than the protagonists, ideal for building tension, but these good approaches are dealt with too quickly to have a lasting effect. Other, exciting starting positions also suffer from the lack of intensification. The fact that the gangsters are not just proletarian, but intelligent or that firefighter Don (William Sadler) is no less unscrupulous breaks through clichés, but is unfortunately shown as a matter of course that is dealt with too quickly. The actors play solidly, their roles are taken from them. Ice Cube and Ice-T are particularly well-filled. "
Ivo Ritzer wrote in : IKONEN: Magazin : “An underrated classic is Walter Hills TRESPASS, a misunderstood masterpiece. The most radical thing you could see in the cinema, fifteen years ago. The most radical thing that can be seen on DVD today. "
