Ranking: Nicolas Cage's Straight-To-Video Movies From Worst To Best

6. Trespass (2011)

Nic Cage The Trust
Millennium Entertainment

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 11%

Joel Schumacher and Nicolas Cage continued their respective career descents together with his woefully naff $35 million (!) home invasion thriller co-starring Nicole Kidman and Ben Mendelsohn.

Every thriller genre cliche is lazily doled out here, the editing is terrible throughout, the implausibilities quickly mount up, and it's clear that nobody in it, especially Cage and Kidman, care much about the movie beyond the payday.

It's staggering how much the movie cost to make given the limited locations, and it's probably pretty telling that the previously-prolific Schumacher hasn't directed a single movie in the five years since.

Trespass also marked the beginning of Cage's straight-to-video banishment, released in just 10 cinemas the same day it went straight-to-video and grossing less than $20,000 from those cinemas.
