La Trampa

I feel like the idea of directing a concert and a plot inside a concert took over everything else. It starts off quite well and all props to Josh Hartnett but at the end of it all, it's nothing that stands out, nothing at all. The charm, creativity and the out of the box cocncepts and even the eerie settings of his movies are all but missing in this movie.

If you're a fan of his old work like the Signs, Village, Unbreakable, Sixth Sense or even The Visit and The Happening and are fond of his art then TRAP is a complete pivot from his work.

It was also kind of annoying at how they made the cops and the FBI look and think like 4th graders trying to catch a criminal.

Missed opportunity, for us!

I thought that the setting of the movie was interesting, and it had some exciting moments. One of the bigger side roles is played by the directors niece I belive. She had so much screen time and those parts were mostly not great. She is a great singer, but the acting needs improvement.

The cast is otherwise great, I just hope other side characters would have gotten more screen time.

Ofcourse the movie included alot of fun and interesting twists, but it leaves you wanting something more.

The movie could have been alot better without a clear try to launch a relatives career. Overall medium interesting watch.

The start of the movie was really promising. The plotline was also really promising. I don't understand how is this movie a horror movie actually, because it seems more like a psychological thriller/crime to me. From a director who did a masterpiece like "sixth sense" I was really expecting something else. In fact, "sixth sense" seems more logical to me. The movie is filled with a lot of plot holes and illogical scenes. I don't understand why. It looks like the director wanted to push something more personal in the movie and in the meantime he forgot about the actual movie's plot and purpose. As I said, it started off as very promising but the plot developed in such a wrong way for a movie that should revolve around logical and realistic things. Maybe the director should have studied about this matter more so maybe he would escape all of those plot holes. Josh Harnett is sexier than ever.

I'm a sucker for M. Night and being a fan can be challenging but I'll always give him a shot. This was bad. Not in a campy way but this hurt to watch. Josh Hartnett worked with what he had but this so bad. It went nowhere. A sad nepotism project at best sad to say the music was laughable as was the acting. The songs were endless and so was the build up (?) Wait for it to stream and then ignore it. I had second hand embarrassment watching the cringe inducing concert felt like I was trapped not in a good way. The writing was juvenile and lazy. People actually started laughing in the movie theater. This had a Hallmark network quality to it and that's an insult to them. The concept had potential but it felt like AI wrote this. M. Night had to have put his own money up to get this greenlit. This was just absurd.

A watchable movie, but the director ventures into too many different directions. The third act feels very disconnected from the rest of the film, culminating in a never-ending finale with bland characters that are poorly developed.

The story veered into many different directions, making it feel unfocused. I did not enjoy the poor acting, except for Josh Harriett, who was the only good part of the movie.

The third act was particularly undetermined and disjointed. Surprisingly, the best part of the movie was during the film credits.

Even Josh Harnett's performance, the sole highlight, couldn't save the film from its shortcomings.
