Audience Member Pretty poor film,but still slightly entertaining--Full Throttle plunge into mediocrity!! Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review bill t Charlie Chan goes to a house of a bunch of hilariously over-acting women to see who killed one of them. They're all a bunch of chorus girls who have rented a house. Chan does his usual questioning. Not one of the best, but certainly, not one of the least. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member You'd think a film called "The Trap" might center around a trap of some kind, but in this case you'd be wrong. In Sidney Toler's last appearance on film Chan decides to use a trap to catch a killer but never really explains how the trap is supposed to work. When it does the entire scene is both confusing and anti-climatic. It leads to one of the most boring car chase scenes ever filmed and a lengthy and even more confusing death bed confession by the murderess. Chan, Birmingham and Jimmy don't even show up until 16 minutes into this 68 minute film which is unimpressively directed by Howard "Close up? What's a close up?" Bretherton. Instead the film concentrates on the antics of a group of showgirls at a Malibu beach house. It's all fun and cheesecake until somebody gets murderered. The skills of the bathing suited cast makes one wonder if this was a casting couch production at Monogram. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
