One of the season's most-anticipated (especially on the heels of the mega-blockbuster Sea Men: Fallen Angel IV), the only question is this: Has director Bruce Cam and the Titan team outdone themselves? Can they outdo themselves? Would they dare to outdo themselves? The answer is a resounding and unequivocal yes. Trespass has some of the most stunning cinematography you'll ever see - and we're not talking about porn. This film - and we do mean film - is exquisite. On two discs (get the Hardcore one if you can; it's one of the best ever), this is an essential work from a true master craftsman. And it's fucking nasty and hot as hell to boot!
