What to Know

Critics Consensus

An arch thriller given some grounding by Josh Hartnett's committed performance, Shyamalan's Trap will ensnare those who appreciate its tongue-in-cheek style while the rest will be eager to wriggle out from it.

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk While Shyamalan has an eye for a Hitchcockian “aha” moment and a great sense of suspense, he stretches willing suspension of disbelief just a little too far, making Trap more of an acting showcase than a thriller masterclass. Rated: 3/5 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It's not as good as his best work; it's not as bad as his worst work, but it does encapsulate the thing that makes [Shyamalan] so infuriating. Aug 20, 2024 Full Review Sujay Kumar Chicago Reader For some, puzzling out the “big twist” will be enough to sustain interest in the enjoyable, if nonsensical, third act. The real twist, for me, was realizing that The Sixth Sense came out 25 years ago. Aug 16, 2024 Full Review Pete Vonder Haar Houston Press The highlight of the whole film might be the bit part played by Kid Cudi in absolute diva/bitch mode. Rated: 2/5 Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Trap is better than most of the Shyamalan nonsense routinely foisted on us over the past quarter-century, although its entertainment value doubtless increases if one enters the arena completely clueless. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 16, 2024 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness ... follows that same path of fascinating idea whose best parts are worth turning over in one’s mind, dissecting them to see how they’re constructed and executed, even as the weaker bolts and support pieces threaten to buckle under the inspiration.
