Some of the things that Josh pulled off in the final act, make him seem like an actual magician 😂

[drag-ha]

The idea and concept is always there for me. He just has trouble flushing it out sometime. I really appreciate him for this very reason. I am never really dissatisfied because I love his mind.

[masteronionnorth]

It sounds like Night Shyamalan wanted a movie to put his daughter into so he quickly whipped up Trap. 🤔

[Chuuzus]

the way M. Night always leaves the audience divisive 😭😭

[docdave]

Happy August 🎉 Thank you for your great content.

This one sounds like a streaming view.

My favorite M. Sham filim is "Lady in the Water"...great review 😊

[jenniferwilson]

2.8 is TOO high. The way they treated him when they finally caught up with him brings this down to a 1, maybe 1.5. Like you said, Josh Hartnett is the ONLY saving grace to this film.

The first review I ever watched of yours was M Shamalan Knight "The Servant"...I loved that show and I am a Huge fan of his. His endings are hit and miss but the journey are always enjoyable for me. I don't expect great endings from him so when I get one it's a Bonus

[iamjaiwilson]

I expected more and was severely let down. 1.5/5 at best. There were too many plot holes. What was the purpose of the mom of the other girl? How was the kitchen scene even possible? Where was Raven's security detail? The limo scene was laughable, like how? The ending was frustrating. The way that law enforcement handled things was infuriating 😬
So basically it's a concert film for his daughter with a very mid sub-plot 🤷🏽‍♀️

[TaureanReignReloaded]

I am so over M. Night and his shenanigans over the years. I was done after Old.

My hubs and I liked it a lot. 4*/5* It’s entertaining and fun. We watched some of the promo interviews so we knew what to expect. No twisty gimmicks. Some comic scenes. The preposterous concept: a serial killer treats his daughter to a 20, 000 seat concert and gets trapped. I mean, c’mon, that’s hilarious! Hartnett was amazing, slipping back and forth from charming and doting daddy to menacing shrewd killer. Those insert scenes have a purpose and that is to show his split personality in over the top engagements. His daughter got her feelings hurt. He was mad. Then the bully’s mom blathers on about the situation and those are beautifully comic scenes. Jamie’s scenes are other points of levity. The garrulous numbskull who doesn’t realize what he’s doing. The cat and mouse game is so exciting to him, he spills all kinds of beans. 😆 The point where Cooper’s duplicity becomes singular, the trapped psychopath desperate to escape being one-upped by his daughter’s idol was an abrupt tone shift and Saleka is not experienced enough of an actor to pull that shift off. The sequence from getting through her security guards to the limo exchanges to the house were suspenseful. We understood why Cooper was so frustrated (but still one step ahead) because he could not expose the killer part of himself from Riley’s doting daddy. Throughout the movie we were rooting for Cooper! And this shift needed some expanding. More subtlety, more depth. The reveal was so well done, M Knight should have given the pair more time to pull the threads together. That last part needed greater exposition. We were particularly impressed with Cooper’s smooth extraction of the spoke from the wheel. We loved that he was still plotting his escape! Yay, serial killer! 😂 The details of the tunnel, the safe houses, his firefighting occupation, and his mommy issues were crammed into the last part of the movie. That’s a big flaw. Those threads were supposed to be realized by the audience I guess. So that’s why we took a star off our rating. Saleka was great as a performer (and we’re impressed to know she wrote the songs to reflect getting into Cooper’s mind) but she is not yet an actor and her prominent role spoiled what could have been pure suspense almost to the very end. My husband said they should have duped Jamie into making Cooper’s escape from the concert hall. 😆 Anyway, for those people who complained about this or that or this again, we want to remind them that reading or watching a work of fiction requires that “willing suspension of disbelief.” This is a very good cat and mouse thriller with parody legs. Just go with it and be entertained! We are going to see it again tomorrow night!

I'm an M Night Shaylaman fan but I have no interest in seeing this movie. Good to see Josh Hartnett back on the big screen but no.

[SullyStreams]

Sorry to hear this one was a pretty mixed bag for you, dude! I actually had a good bit of fun with this movie, and thought it was a pretty entertaining yet messy little cat and mouse flick. Definitely loses some steam toward the end and the conclusion is a bit undercooked, but as someone that hasn't vibed with M. Night Shyamalan for a while I was surprised that it worked for me. Great review, man!

[knuman]

This movie lacks so much logic and sense that I was convinced at one point the whole thing was a dream lol.

[brooklynehorton]

His movie Signs is a masterpiece. This movie Trap is trash but I do really like Josh Hartnett. Your review is spot on. Very unrealistic!

[rissilient]

His daughter looked gorgeous that overshadowed how poorly written this movie was

[Model_Roe]

I'm not surprised this is getting mixed reviews but I still want to see it regardless I been saying Shamylan is hit or miss for me when he hits it's gas when he misses it's straight trash but I did want to watch Josh Hartnett more than anything his performance is getting good reviews

[ladystarfall]

Sounds like a trying to "promote your daughter" film. since as you say it was mostly concert related. . I trust your reviews so ill wait ... thanks so much

[mm-intn]

Yo Miss Bliss!!!! She was the highlight. I knew I knew that voice!!!!
