Regrets - Shyamalan Has a Few - Trap review by griggs

Spoiler Alert
15/08/2024

You will already know the plot outline if you've seen the trailers, so I won't mention it here. I did appreciate the Hitchcockian style of direction in the first act, where you find yourself rooting for Josh Hartnett's character to escape, even though he's a sadistic serial killer. That said, during the first 30 minutes, Hartnett's performance feels off—misguided and somewhat stiff, likely due to a questionable direction. Yet, in the final act, he truly shines, despite the film's last third abandoning the original premise.

Director M. Night Shyamalan, known for his plot twists, doesn't let you down here. The big one is that when the credits roll, you realise you've just watched a two-hour advert for Shyamalan's daughter, who plays a significant role in the movie, and little else.

Expecting a nail-biting experience? You won't find it here. The film lacks the suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Instead, what you're left with is a sense of disappointment and regret for the missed opportunity to create a truly thrilling experience.

M Night Shymalan's worst since The Happening - Trap review by AER

Spoiler Alert
23/08/2024

OK this year we've already had The Watched which was directed by M Night Shymalan's daughter. That was intriguing at best but couldn't glue its many ideas into a coherent whole. And while M Night Shyamalan's new one Trap certainly has a tighter plot, its problems are more endemic. The main problem I had with Trap was Josh Hartnett's performance - he seems to be striving for a heightened Nicolas Cage-style performance in this, and that's not what the film needed. it's too broad and it shows up the short comings of the script. The plot is gripping but only because you want to see how this car-crash of a movie can astound you. It's a shame really as the girl who plays Josh H's daaghter (Ariel Donohue) is actually brilliant and convincing. It's also worth a look to see Hayley Mills in her first Hollywood role since the late 70s (I think). The spiralling plot is interesting but quite crazy and unconvincing. Is it fun though? It had its moments, but if you compare it Split or Unbreakable that traded in brilliant lead acting performances, Trap, is terrible. Sorry.

Engrossing thriller - Trap review by Alphaville

Spoiler Alert
10/12/2024

Impeccably directed by Shyamalan, this tense thriller starts with an affable anti-hero serial killer trapped by hordes of police when he accompanies his daughter to a concert to see pop sensation Lady Raven. We see everything from his point of view as he takes ever more desperate measures to escape… and when Lady Raven herself (Shyamalan’s daughter) gets involved the tension really ramps up. Shyamalan introduces and drops important characters at will, which has made some critics call the film disjointed. On the contrary, it keeps you on your toes. You never know where the plot’s going and, with a director at the helm who knows exactly how to shoot with a camera, that makes for compulsive viewing.
