Starts kind of slow but this is a really good movie.
The main character is young, nice and naive, she falls in love with an INSANELY attractive bad boy.
Dark, twisted and dramatic... I think women will relate to this movie more then men.

Layla is a 15 year old girl who has just come 'home' to her mother in Brixton having spent the last ten years in Trinidad with her grandparents. A nice lad, Shaun, takes an immediate shine to her and Layla likes him too, if only as a friend. Instead, she falls for a local Z-lister Troy, who doesn't want her, but she can't have anyone else. The title of the film probably suggests this isn't going to end well. This is social realism at its best. Superbly acted. Emotional. And ultimately sad. Not your typical popcorn movie, but a must see 8 out of ten
This movie was very well-done. You can tell that it's an low budget movie but that fact isn't distracting. The characters are well thought out. The portrayal is very believable. There were moments I was laughing, gasping, grinning and sobbing.
Very well done. I recommend it.

Quality of this film is not very high, the acting is not great at all. Compared to other British films this is shocking. Top it all off the ending was awful.
Ahh the travails of youth, what stupidity kids of a certain generation go through because they feel the need to belong to anything in their small, important lives. Honeytrap follows a 15 year old ex pat from Trinidad staying w/her mother in Blighty as she navigates the treacherous annals of teendom. Watching this as I approach middle age, I winced & fretted over this teen's decisions, I wondered if I would be so dejected & gullible that I wouldn't make the same mistakes. Told & acted w/refreshing honesty, you may hate the journey this film takes you on but ultimately the sobering message is worth the trip.
