[@wrath231]

[@gman0155]

1st half is entertaining and then complete utter mess. Lost all hope for modern film makers. They obv have zero clue how put together a full film.

[@winstonfromblackchat238]

the most unbelievable thing to me is that Lady Raven would be willing to risk her own life for a stranger on his phone. That's far fetched that a Mega star would let a serial killer go through with her past the cops into her car and put herself at risk rather than not snitching on him there and then LOL. Surely if she told the cops they would of been able to have find the guy he had kidnapped. Furthermore the cops had no idea what The Butcher looked like so it would of made more sense for him to just go through the police search and more likely he would of been able to finesse his way out of it rather then exposing his identity to Lady Raven, that was truly idiotic.

[@Ocyla]

Right. During that part I was like "easy decision, you scream your brains out and maybe that guy gets killed, but you caught a serial killer and ended all the butchering, duh" If the singer KNEW the guy that might make more sense. Like her brother or something.

[@4elovechishe]

​@@rand_xcurse6884When the daughter was going through the gift bag that included 3 tattoos, he could have used them to tattoo over the tattoo on his wrist, at least making it convoluted enough to disguise it.

[@paul969]

The cops could only question someone who agreed to it. You can’t just detain 3000 men on a tip. Shamalan has no clue about the 4th amendment, apparently. Anyway… if he’s so brilliant, couldn’t he ace the questions? “Hello sir. Do you kill people?” “Nope”

[@mrben6573]

Shyamalan loves his twists. So I thought the twist was going to be that the daughter was the serial killer and the father knows and is trying to protect her or something like that.

[@shatteredking2774]

My exact same issues with the movie, Jeremy. Josh Hartnett at least killed it throughout but they should've kept it shorter and in the concert setting entirely. That was the entire selling point of the movie

[@evanhayes5891]

Harnett tried but didn't kill it. He needs more practice.

[@davidhoptman4971]

Here are several inconsistencies and unanswered questions I noticed in the movie. Perhaps you can make another video addressing these: (1) WHY is Cooper taking his daughter to a concert and leaving his wife and son at home? Wouldn't they all want to go to the concert together? (2) If police were tipped off by Cooper's wife, WHY didn't she give her name, address, etc? (3) If police knew the killer would be there, why not check people as they come in instead of on the way out? (4) If police found ticket receipt, couldn't they find out their seat location? (5) If Cooper's wife drugged him with the pie, why did the drugs have no affect, and allow him to keep going? Did the tazers neutralize the drug? (6) How could the police not notice Cooper removing the bike spoke and how could he remove the spoke so easily?

[@believeume122]

He doesn't do breakdowns but I'm sure you can find a channel that does.

[@izzydahi3251]

1) i think he only took the daughter because they had really good seats and it would be too pricey to take the whole family 2) since she did realize he was the butcher, im sure she realized her life would be in danger if she was the one who ratted him out since he has gotten away with 12 murders 3) i dont think the police knew he was going to the concert with someone, so in their eyes they believed if he saw the cop cars and everything he would turn and go away. Not knowing he was brining his daughter. 4) probably ripped just to see the name of the concert , nothing more because then possibly her daughter would be in danger? 5) i think since they are his medication maybe he just has a higher tolerance ? and it seemed she didn’t put too much just sprinkled on the bottom which there was enough to where he could slip his fingers through it and leave a mark 6) they wanted him alive not dead, so im guessing when he moved the bike it just seemed like it was his OCD acting out. Idk about any of this these are just what i was thinking 😂😊

[@ianhershberger6376]

As far as number 3 goes, it’s explained that all she found was his planning house there was no bodies, no blood, nothing. So she didn’t actually KNOW what the house was for. She ripped the ticket in half, obviously ripping the part with their seats on it. She presumed he was some kind of killer, so she left the ticket there and reported it, so that when the cops found it they would investigate and either prove him innocent or catch him.

[@MoneyManHolmes]

I thought it was dumb that he had a shirt on to hide the spoke in the first place. Wasn’t he shirtless when he maimed an agent and got tazed? Implausible that they would let such a dangerous freak and the most wanted man in America get up and put his shirt back on before chaining him up.

[@tjr3354]

She said she left a partial receipt. So they knew he would be there but didn’t know where

[@bryh555]

There was one scene that had me completely confused that i thought would be explained later in the movie but never was. Its when Cooper went into the employee room where a swat team was grouped up listening to the leader talk about how imperitive it is to find the butcher, and he starts passing through them, saying to them that hes just trying to get some coffee, but the coffee area was around the corner and through a big group of people from where he was when he said it, so i have no idea how he knew there was going to be a coffee machine right there. Then, one of the swat guys asks cooper where they keep the sugar. He makes up that one of the other employees was supposed to restock it, so he gets in a cabinet underneath and immediately pulls out the sugar without having to look for it for even a second or check any other cabinets, it was in the first one he opened, and he refers to it as "his own stash". It just felt like he knew exactly where both the coffee station and the sugar were without ever seeing them before. I thought we were gonna learn that Cooper had been in that room before for whatever reason, like he broke in some time before the concert and set up contingincy plans to escape the arena because he knew there was going to be a trap or something like that, but it was just never explained. Also another scene that bugged me was when Cooper went to the Shake Shack or whatever it was, went behind the counter, somehow walked up to the friers (which were right behind the counter where everyone could see them), picks up two big glass bottles of canola oil (which, again, were also right behind the counter in plain view of the employees and customers), puts the full bottles into the frier without it seeming to affect the level of the oil that was already in there, turns up the temp on the frier, and walks out without a single person seeing him do any of this. It isnt shown or explained how he gets away with this, nor does it address the fact that he would have been caught in plain view on the security cameras, which police would have absolutely watched considering someone got severly hurt from the incident. Theyre gonna wanna look and see how two full unopened bottles of oil ended up in there. Why the FBI didnt immediatly go back and watch the footage to see what happened and who did it is beyond me. The head fbi lady even said that the butcher would try to use chaos as a distraction, but they never go back and look at who caused that particular chaotic distraction.

[@shinycheeto5779]

Lol yeah those moments definitely took the biggest suspension of disbelief. The concept itself is silly so I just went with it. None of it really stands up to scrutiny. He just happened to talk to Lady Raven’s Uncle. Nobody saw him push lady down stairs. Couldn’t the cops find out what seats they were in by the receipt? At the very least what section based on price?

[@ianhershberger6376]

@@shinycheeto5779The wife ripped the receipt, ripping the part with the seats on it off because she wasn’t sure he was the killer so didn’t wanna give them a direct line to Cooper, she wanted them to investigate and actually prove it was him and that he had done something illegal.

[@ianhershberger6376]

As far as the first one goes, he was winging it. It’s exactly what you see. Cooper’s a psychopath who plans murders. He didn’t know the coffee was there, he saw it as he began walking through. He was looking for a way out, information, anything and this happened to be what he stumbled upon. It was a risk undoubtedly, but a calculated one. The best place to hide is in plain sight. Any SWAT officer in the group who sees him in the future now goes “hey I saw that guy directly walk by us without a care in the world, he’s not suspicious”. And in almost every office/coffee station in the US atleast - sugar, cutlery etc. is stored in a lower cabinet.

Characters giving random information away that is SUPER CONVENIENT for Josh Harnett’s character was SUPER video game-y Also, the singer being the focal point of the third act instead of the profiler did smell of M. Night saying “I’m the director, my daughter gets to be the hero!” But honestly? I enjoyed it. It was refreshing to have a Shamalayn film that didn’t have anything supernatural or extraterrestrial. Just an interesting idea that plays like a playground “what if?” ***slight spoiler*** The ending does set up a potential sequel, and you know what would be fun? A Mr. Brooks situation. Whatever mental condition Josh Harnett’s character has turns out to be hereditary, and one or both of his kids starts developing his “urge” as he put it. That would be an interesting follow up.

M. Night has just as many hits as he does misses, but to his credit, his hits are usually bullseyes, and he always at least aims big and tries to make something unique.

[@flippalovell]

Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Signs are some of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Split is good, but only because of McAvoy’s performance (and Anya Taylor-Joy to a lesser extent). The Visit was alright. Just about everything else the man has done ranges from bad to ‘one of the worst movies I’ve seen’. Knock at the Cabin was atrociously bad. I don’t know what happened to the guy but I’m starting to think it’s possible he had three all time classics in a row that were somehow all flukes.

[@dedrekbryant3651]

The village is pretty good the first time you see it

[@OrthoLou]

@flippalovell I really liked Split. One of his best, in my opinion. The Visit was decent. Devil was pretty underrated, imo. I enjoyed Old a lot. And this new one was very good, imo. All of the others... yeah, I may have to agree. Unless I'm forgetting some.

[@Schlaublin]

I feel like so many thriller/horror movies miss on the endings nowadays. They come up with a great concept, intriguing trailers that make you want to see it, a banger first half of the film... and then the ending falls flat. I've seen this time and time again, most recently was Longlegs. it's like the writers get wrapped up in the premise and the ending is an afterthought.

[@greggibson33]

Because there are thousands of great premises floating around Hollywood.... it's extremely rare to stick the landing. It's the hardest part.

The movie was way better than i thought itd be. I was pleasantly surprised. It was the most normal movie Knight ever made. Not even any real twists. Which is a good thing. For the first half of the movie i wasnt even sure the dad was a serial killer. Did a great job making you question what was going on.

I rented two movies this week, Trap and Longlegs. I got through Trap and thought wow, that was kind of stupid. And then I watched Longlegs and after all the hype that movie had I found myself bored to death. So at least Trap was entertaining.

[@SJSnowdon]

Review of M. Night Shyamalan's Trap I was genuinely looking forward to seeing what Shyamalan had up his sleeve this time. When I first heard the concept of Trap, I thought it could turn out to be quite a cool movie-at least on paper. Sadly, that’s where the intrigue ends. What followed was a nonsensical mess that left me scratching my head, utterly dumbfounded at the sheer ridiculousness of it all. The film's plot is so absurdly unrealistic that it obliterates any sense of immersion. You could overlook bad acting, weak set design, or off-kilter music if the story held up, but Trap is so riddled with holes that it feels like nobody cared whether anything made sense. The level of implausibility is staggering. Watching the movie, I constantly found myself asking: "How can this be so incredibly stupid?" The biggest offender? The treatment of the film's "megastar" singer, who appears to be a Beyoncé-level figure. Somehow, this global icon is allowed to wander around with a random guy backstage, despite there being a mass murderer loose in the same stadium. It’s laughably absurd. Imagine one of the most famous people on the planet, completely unsupervised, next to a killer. Where are the cameras? The security? The logic? None of it makes sense, and that’s just one of the many ridiculous scenarios the movie presents. It’s hard to express just how fundamentally flawed the plot is because it defies even the most basic logic. Everything feels coincidental and thoughtless, as if the story was thrown together without any consideration for how things actually work in the real world. The sheer lack of believability destroys any potential the film might’ve had as a thriller. And that's a real shame because you can tell a lot of hard work went into making this movie. But when the core of the story is broken, everything else falls apart. Let’s not even get started on the absurdity of the film’s "villain." At one point, this guy seems to turn into a magician, teleporting from one place to another and somehow managing to blend in with the SWAT team by magically changing into their uniforms. Speaking of the SWAT team, they-and the police-are portrayed as the most incompetent, slow, and clueless bunch I’ve ever seen in a movie. It’s almost comedic how dumb they are, but this isn’t a comedy. For comparison, the police in Hot Fuzz look like geniuses next to these lot, and that’s saying something. The cherry on top? Shyamalan seems to have made this movie just to trap us all into listening to his daughter sing. Even that aspect of the film falls flat, as the singing isn’t particularly great either. It feels like a vanity project disguised as a thriller, and the audience is left trapped in an experience that could have been so much more. In conclusion, Trap is an earth-shatteringly bad film when it comes to story, plot, and execution. There's no saving grace here, and the title feels painfully appropriate-because it sure felt like I was trapped while watching it.

[@GizmoBeach]

To me, the idea of the FBI “knowing the killer will be there” because of a ticket stub, is utterly ridiculous: what if he stayed home, and Mom took the daughter? Then, they let hundrds of potential suspects ENTER THE BUILDING, and *then* start pulling people out of seats. NOT before, despite the cops having every entrance covered. This movie was as thought-out as one of Trump’s incoherent “speeches” which are nothing but lunatic-fringe rants. A reasonably intelligent 12-year old could poke holes throughout this turkey.

This is excellent, put yourself into that mindset, this guy is completely detached from humanity, he emulates how the people around him are acting. We're seeing through his lense, people seem fake. So he's acting as he sees people. I loved this movie and think it will become more appreciated over time. Even seeing how this guy slips through the cracks, shows how resourceful he is. It has happened in real life like that before. I loved the end of the movie - possibilities of a sequel.

[@jaredbond7908]

I root for M. Night, even tho he isn't my jam anymore. This is an example of what I'd call an old school "event" movie. It has hyped itself up so much because it's made to be seen with groups of people. When people enter a theater from a trusted director, they know they're in for a good time, and they get to experience that together. M. Night is one of the few people still doing this. As for the type of movies, I could only compare him to Jordan Peele. Anyway, I like M. Night, and I think audiences will pretty much love this, so I think with this movie, he's finally going to shake off his reputation of being a semi-competent, hit-and-miss director. Finally, his name is now a draw again. He has fulfilled his high of being at the top of the game again. He's been making movies for the masses for some time now, but at some point, his filmmaking is going to get more personal again. So I just wonder what we'll see at that point.

[@frostmitten67]

[@oneopinion6806]

It feels like several of the M. Night movies get halfway to great and then spin out of control. Thought exercise: Name a director who could mentor/team up with him to wrestle these almost-there movies to the finish line. There are probably many directions this could go, but I'll start with a wilder one in Wes Anderson. A successful director who also has dialogue that sounds stilted but somehow works. Wes also has movies that break through into the absurd but again somehow still work. It could also be the introduction of Wes Anderson into Thriller/Horror!

[@10Or106]

His daughter not being able to act on camera checks out. The skills necessary to perform on stage have zero translation to on-set close up acting. Everything is bigger when you are in a big venue so I imagine switching to close up acting either is they aren't told about the switch and the mental prep for that and they end up looking goofy or they are, and their instinct as a performer dries up, they end up looking subdued and awkward
