- rg94001. november 2024Trap is a strange movie to review. The plot actually moves into some interesting territory in the second half, suddenly feeling far more compelling. I legitimately enjoyed seeing the way the story develops into this shift, and there were a few sequences in that latter half that really felt captivating. However, so much of this movie requires turning off your brain. Almost all the actions, from both the police and the killer, seem incredibly illogical. It is not even remotely believable that either side is an expert at what they are doing. Logic simply has no place in this movie. The line delivery and dialogue is so stilted and awkward at times. It is intentional because Josh Hartnett can act, as evidenced by various moments throughout the movie, yet he is baffingly terrible at others, especially in the first half. In fact, a lot of the first half of the movie feels like Shyamalam trying to soft launch his daughter's music career. Yet, it's almost endearing how silly it all is, with my theater laughing throughout the movie in a fun way. Even if it was unintentional, there is a B-movie shlock feeling to the film that makes it entertaining in its ridiculousness. Still, I think there are so many things that could have been executed significantly better to make this movie much stronger, because the concept is actually good. It could have been on the level of Split, but instead it seems destined to be compared to the director's weaker work, even if it is more fun than those movies. At this stage, we should know what to expect from M Night Shyamalam, with his strong movies being the outliers and not the norm. This one had the potential to be that outlier, and though it can feel fun and engaging, it doesn't reach that potential.
- Marshall Moore16. mars 2026Good till the ending
- ragmondo15. februar 2025If I had to watch this on an flight, I’d still walk out. This film is destined to be one of those “so bad it’s good” films that you must watch with friends and take a shot every time someone does something completely out of character or something just completely infeasible happens . Watch out though as you will have alcohol poisoning within 20 mins. Has Shama ever actually been to a concert ?! ** update : for every like, I’ll watch this again **
- tellum21. august 2025The cheese is thick in this movie but it’s a unique twist on certain tropes, and I can see why Josh’s acting here would be polarizing to people but I liked it.
- ayayron6. april 2025Lacked a sense of realism or believability, even if this is Shamalamalan
- Paul Walsh3. mars 2026A feature length film made to show off Shymalan's daughter's vocal chops. The movie is filled with plot-holes and makes zero sense once the four pseudo-endings have passed. Seeing Josh Hartnett in action again was fun though.
- MrTrivet26. januar 2026Although I believe that M. Night Shyamalan is often subjected to excessive criticism, Trap unfortunately provides ammunition for his skeptics. The premise is intriguing, and the first half draws the viewer in with a clever trap-based setup; the stadium-set game of cat and mouse - featuring elements of social hacking and escape-route improvisation reminiscent of Hitman - rests on solid foundations. The problems emerge later. The director stumbles over his own ambitions, and the second half veers into magical thinking, where narrative logic ceases to apply to both the pursuers and the pursued. There are too many twists, most of which feel unjustified and unearned. Fortunately, Josh Hartnett, despite an uneven performance, ultimately remains convincing and carries the film on his shoulders. The whole thing also feels like an attempt to boost the director’s daughter’s music career (luckily, she is quite talented). Trap delivers entertainment if not examined too closely, but it ultimately leaves a strong sense of wasted potential.
- Urhas17. juli 2025An average movie, but Josh Hartnett's acting is wonderful.
- Sam16. november 2025whatever didn't give a single shit about it and m nights daughter being the musician and having an irl career sucked
- Scott15. desember 2024Some notably bad dialog (even for Shyamalan) can’t push me away from how much fun Hartnett is having. Not a good movie but so ludicrous that I couldn’t help but have fun imagining the continuing adventures of Lady Raven in a Knives Out-style cinematic universe where she tours around solving crimes.
- Monkey See! Monkey Review!!13. september 2025M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap spins a taut psychological thriller that blurs the line between empathy and horror. The film invites viewers into a morally murky world, where you may find yourself unexpectedly torn—feeling for the villain while still craving justice. TLDR -> A Twisted Symphony of Suspense and Emotion. Highly Recommended Without spoiling any major plot points, I’ll say this: going in blind, without watching the trailer, heightened the experience. The story unfolds with a gripping pace, and the tension builds steadily, keeping you on edge throughout. Josh Hartnett delivers a standout performance, embodying his character with chilling precision and emotional depth. His presence anchors the film, adding a layer of complexity that elevates the narrative. In short, Trap is a compelling and unsettling ride—one that lingers long after the credits roll. If you’re drawn to thrillers that challenge your instincts and keep you guessing, this one’s worth your time.
- neuroparadox24. juli 2025Shit. It's actually pretty good. Stop fucking with my expectations, Night! 🤣🧐
- Kevin Ward1. juli 2025Trap in its best moments is a tense and exhilarating cat and mouse game that reminded me a lot of Brian De Palma’s Snake Eyes. Snake Eyes opens with an incredibly cinematic and dynamic sequence that takes place at a boxing match, but loses much adrenaline once the fight is over and we leave the arena. Such is the case in M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap. The concert portion of the film is beautifully shot, has Cooper (Josh Harnett) improvising several clever escape to avoid the cops closing in on him and even incorporates a De Palma signature split diopter shot. I was even impressed with Saleka’s music (as Lady Raven). Had never heard any of her music before, but I thought the songs had excellent melody, catchy hooks and found myself grooving along with Hartnett on a couple occasions. Nepo baby talk and/or shameless self-promotion aside, I still came away feeling like she has star quality, at least on the musical side. However, once we leave the concert setting, the cat and mouse dynamic really suffers. Each sides chess moves feel much less thought out along the way and the narrative become much more predictable, and lacking in tension. It doesn’t help that a lot of the dialogue is very stilted and unnatural. Harnett is great, and carries the majority of the film. I was disappointed we didn’t get more Hayley Mills. I don’t think she actually interacted with anyone in the film. I was almost more like a voiceover role for her, simply speaking lines over the police radio. Still enjoyable but definitely enjoyed the first half of the film much more than the second half. Mild recommend.
