Atom User Reviews for Trap
DO NOT GO! Just dont waste your money on this bullsh*t. Trust me guys -10/10
This movie had me on the edge of my seat the whole time for nothing. I will not see this movie again. it wasn't what I thought it was going to be.
I wish they would’ve made it less of the concert scene and more detail about the wife and how his life has been up to the point but overall, it was a good movie
Oh man, where do I begin. One word sums up the entire movie: Unrealistic. The security detail in the movie was like watching the Secret Service and FBI of the Biden administration. Total joke. Never before have I seen so much mishaps just like attending a Trump rally. The acting was awful except for Josh Harlett. Never ever have I seen a celebrity leaving her own concert without a single security guard. So many scenes in the movie just didn’t make any sense to me.
*SPOILER FREE REVIEW* FROM A REAL PERSON. Lol. Listen, I really wanted to like this movie. I really wanted to go and have a good time and enjoy it. The trailer looked REALLY promising!!!! Unfortunately, and it really saddens me to say this. This movie was a flop. Big time. No if ands or butts. Do not go see it. Simple. Why you may ask ? Could it have been THAT bad????? Yes. Yes it was. It loses you really quick, I almost wanted to just walk out and go spend the rest of the night at TGI Fridays or something.
lifetime has better actors than this movie had .
Honestly it did feel like a comedy due to the scenes but honestly it’s a really good movie. The plot twist was crazy.
It’s a shame M Night Shyamalan has produced/directed and written such atrocity. I really wanted to like this movie, give him another chance. The real “Trap” is being lured into the theater with a glimpse of hope to experience the decay of a once master director. It’s not paranormal, nor crime, I wouldn’t even say it’s suspenseful. Not sure what genre M Night has fallen into. The Sixth Sense will be one of the greatest suspense gems, it’s sad to see what has become of M Night.
Josh Harnett acted circles around everyone, he was the only redeeming factor. Night used this movie to promote his daughter.
This movie is so good! The suspense and acting are phenomenal. I can't wait to see it again! This is a very creative movie and well worth watching.
While initially interesting, The movie falls apart in in the second half . It wasn’t believable after a while. For example FBI would have shot the antagonist in the end
Worst movie I’ve ever seen.
Stay home. It’s awful. The surprise is no surprise. Last movie I’m giving MNight
Dumb/Boring
They dragged it , was multiple obvious scenes, just overall was a ok movie . I would honestly just wait until it comes out in a streaming service
Would’ve been five stars but the ended annoyed me lol. Great movie tho. I know M. Nights’ movies are a toss up but this one was golden!
The ending was incredible wow. The twists left & right! Hope there is a sequel!!
It was just....bad
It wasn’t bad at all. I lotta plot twists esp towards the end. I just wish they added some more elements to make it even more interesting. Overall, good movie with some funny parts
Eh just okay
M Night always manages to take the most amazing movie idea, and mess it up with poor dialogue, a lack of believability, and bad acting. Not bad actors. Acting. Like they have no latitude to add lib. Still kept me on my seat because he can twist his movies in multiple directions. But man, I wish he would take his creativity, and let the actors run with it.
I actually liked the movie the man is supposed to be dead though honestly I guess a part two is in the works
Bedside the ok concept, the acting was terrible. Worth seeing for $5 not much more
Fun movie but his escapes are a little unbeatable. Still a good PG13 film. Dialogue was a little cringey.
Laaaaame
Really thought it was gonna be better. It Gave me lifetime movie
I’d give it 2.5 stars. The first act was honestly the best part of the entire movie. The second act really derails the film and the third has a tough time getting it back on track.
The second half of the movie was good! The vender guy was hilarious!
I enjoyed the movie, it had my at the edge of my seat in certain scenes of the film. And I like the twist that it gives. My friend claimed it predictable for her since she into crime. But overall I’ll recommend anyone to give it a try. I don’t think it will disappoint
Unfortunately, too predictable
Predictable yes, but overall a very good and intense movie , great acting !!!!
10/10
The movie was ok but very predictable and some of the dialogue was just lame.
It got better at the end than I thought it would
Josh Harnett was amazing! Many twists to the story.
Josh Hartnett was astonishing in this creepy role!!! Amazingly believable!!!! Fantastic movie—will definitely see again! M knight is remarkably talented and never disappoints!!
LOVED IT , don’t listen to the other reviews!!!
I loved this movie sooooo much !!!!! Everytime I thought I knew what was going to happen next, it was the total opposite. Must watch!
OH MAN !! This movie was so good bro !!
Josh Hartnett is stellar in this role!
This was a decent movie. It does spotlight M.Nights daughter, but Josh Hartnett was intense.
Metacritic
Hitchcock diluted by De Palma diluted by mid-tier M. Night Shyamalan leaves you with, well, bottom-tier Shyamalan.
Shyamalan’s crafts a deceptively simple experience. The plot is rather ingeniously straightforward, at first, but the fraught journey of a father and killer trying not to upend and upset the carefully constructed delusional fabrication of his life—and how the two identities crash into each other on one fateful day— is exhilaratingly multifaceted.
When the film quite literally runs out of plot, only the filmmaker's sheer determination and commitment to the bit manage to salvage an ending that throws logic and reason out the door several times over.
