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 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. Rated: 3/5 Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Jeff Beck The Blu Spot Trap offers up an intriguing scenario & a compelling first half... but unfortunately the second half descends into quite a bit of silliness that will have you rolling your eyes as the story spirals off into some rather ridiculous directions. Rated: 3/5 Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files Trap has some problems, but it’s a fun suspense thriller that kept me engaged right through to the credits. Rated: 8/10 Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Laelah Q I liked this movie a lot. Very entertaining. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review classicmove I already knew the outcome In the first 10 mins, very predictable. The actors were good tho. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Savvy Mrs Sutliff Josh Hartnett is our hero…. This movie makes us think about our thinking about our thinking. So good Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Anonymous Very disappointed. Not quite enough of a thriller. End is predictable. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Angel Overall good movie just watch for yourself I recommend Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Juandi I love me some Josh Hartnett so it’s always great seeing him in a suspenseful role. However, the amount of unrealistic choices throughout the film were frustrating. Also the actress who played the pop star dumbed down the film by A LOT. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
