The upcoming “Trespass Against Us” starring Michael Fassbender is an odd one to try and easily categorize. The tagline — Blood Is A Brutal Bond — suggests a grimy picture, but according to our review from TIFF, the film lies somewhere between “Down Terrace,” “Captain Fantastic,” and “Vanishing Point.” And we’re always up for the unexpected, so this is shaping up to be a treat for the fall season.

Directed by Adam Smith, and co-starring Brendan Gleeson, Lyndsey Marshal, and Killian Scott, the film tells the story of the criminal Cutler family, which spreads across three generations. And adding to the film’s unique tone is a score by The Chemical Brothers. Here’s the official synopsis:
TRESPASS AGAINST US is set across three generations of the Cutler family who live as outlaws in their own anarchic corner of Britain’s richest countryside. Chad Cutler (Michael Fassbender) is heir apparent to his bruising criminal father, Colby (Brendan Gleeson) and has been groomed to spend his life hunting, thieving and tormenting the police. But with his own son, Tyson (Georgie Smith) coming of age, Chad soon finds himself locked in a battle with his father for the future of his young family. When Colby learns of Chad’s dreams for another life he sets out to tie his son and grandson into the archaic order that has bound the Cutler family for generations. He engineers a spectacular piece of criminal business involving a heist, a high-speed car chase and a manhunt, which leaves Chad bruised and bloodied and with his very freedom at stake. With the law cracking down and his father tightening his grip, Chad is forced into increasingly desperate measures. Featuring incredible performances – and an astonishing score by The Chemical Brothers – TRESPASS AGAINST US is at once an exhilarating crime thriller and a profoundly moving story about love and family.
“Trespass Against Us” arrives first on DirecTV starting November 24th, and opens in cinemas in 2017.
