Trap

Quite the nosedive! I actually enjoyed the opening chunk of <em>'Trap'</em>, everything at the music concert is fairly well done and kept the intrigue alive for me. However, once events leave the arena the movie absolutely bombs its way to the finish. The last portion of the film is terrible vie...

Well the best bits of this are most definitely in the trailers! "Cooper" (Josh Hartnett) takes his daughter "Riley" (Ariel Donoghue) to see a "Lady Raven" (Saleka Shyamalan) concert only to find that when they are in the arena, the feds descend on the place like a ton of bricks and thanks to some s...

"Trap" is an intense thriller that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats with its gripping plot and unexpected twists.

I was hooked by the premise of Trap from the moment I saw the trailer. The idea of a serial killer bringing his daughter to a Taylor Swift-like concert, only for it to be a police trap to capture him, immediately grabbed my attention. I’ve always enjoyed M. Night Shyamalan’s films, particularly whe...

What a ridiculous movie. Cooper spends the entire time behaving in the most bizarre and suspicious way possible, the FBI and every other law enforcement agency have handed operational control (including storming in and tazing a suspect) to a profiler, and he's allowed to escape multiple times by th...

M. Night Shyamalan is a director that I've struggled to appreciate. Despite giving his movies multiple chances, I've found most of them to be lacking in some way. Even films like "Old" started strong but fell flat with their endings. I continue to try to grasp Shyamalan's vision and goals in the...

Over the years I'd say my personal opinion of M. Night Shyamalan‘s work, is somewhat mixed. Trap however, leaves no room for compromise. In my opinion, its simply poor. Why? Its scripting and associated characterisations, lack depth and intelligence. Okay, the idea of a setting an elaborate...

Did M. make a whole movie just to promote his daughter's music career? Maybe. Do I mind? Not so much. Makes him a better father than Jackie Chan. I take offense to the movie being hilariously bad though. I'm disappointed because I thought this was a horror movie. The tagline is misleading. It sh...

The first half of the movie was suprisingly good, the plot, ambiance, music and suspense. Then it totally changed into a commercial thrill movie with expected twist.

Truly Dreadful. I didn't realise that the main theme of this film was explicit nepotism until I saw that Shamyamalan cast his own daughter as the female lead / singer / star in a somewhat vain attempt to launch or boost her career. But apart from that, this film just does not make sense. At all. Ev...

What a great movie. Not a single moment in this movie was boring. Nowadays it's really rare to make movie so interesting and also clean from woke propaganda. Definitely deserves high ratings from me.

I found it to be a well-crafted film. The cinematography was commendable, with visually engaging scenes that were thoughtfully composed. M. Night Shyamalan's direction was solid, delivering a coherent narrative while showcasing his daughter's musical talent on stage, a personal touch that added ...
