"Elevator Trap" is a goofy, enjoyable movie that reminded me of "Pulp Fiction". Some oddball characters are thrown together in a preposterous, non-linear narrative that mostly plays for laughs even though it has its share of gore, suspense and plot twists. Yes, most of the movie takes place inside an elevator, but don't let that scare you away.
I admit, the baseball framing device confused me (maybe you have to be Japanese to understand). And some of the elevator conversation is tedious, mainly because you don't know its significance til the end of the movie. It's still worth a look if you don't mind subtitles.
And stick around to the end of the credits for one last scene, even though it really isn't necessary if you've been paying attention to the story.
