I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen a movie with so many far fetched conveniences and implausible elements to it and I was a bit annoyed by the final act but I can’t say I was ever bored by it. So that’s a good thing. I also enjoyed Josh’s performance. I wouldn’t qualify it as a horror though. Like, not at all. Lower tier MNS for me and also 2024 horror list. My rating: 6/10
Yeah I hear you. I watched it last night and I like m night and Josh Hartnett - this movie has a very interesting premise but I found after 30-45 minutes I started to feel awkward as much of the dialogue and plot sequences just felt off to me.. I couldn’t tell if it was weak acting or bad writing but probably a mix of both..? I do like M Nights style though as he liked to keep us on guard but I felt the longer Trap went in the more I was like wtf - there were times I was rolling my eyes at what happened .. but yeah I was never bored so that’s a plus ..
Ultimately was Trap a good film? Not really .. unfortunately M Night has been mostly a disappointment in the past 6-7 years. That said I always feel a pinch of anticipation for his movies as they are different
