Trap - Movie Review

I was actually an extra in this movie and it was very fascinating to see M. Night up close directing, and Josh Hartnett was such a nice guy always joking around and even acknowledging extras, we were filming these scenes at 6 am in the morning and he really set an example of how an actor should be on set.

Somethings not right about this review

[@RMS550]

It was too short....

[@CMonty]

I feel like I need to clarify a point about the "trap." The police didn't stage the concert to catch him. The concert was already happening. It was planned independently of the police's involvement. As said by the vendor he was talking to, the police received an anonymous tip that the killer would be at the concert, so they capitalized on that. Anyone who walked away thinking the police staged the concert wasn't paying attention.

[@ChickenWiingss]

exactly what i was thinking, the movie made it perfectly clear at end of the movie in the scene with cooper and his wife

[@Avaren619]

[@CMonty]

@@gringosdarr no, I'm not. A big part of the climax of the movie is revealing who tipped the police off to the fact that he was gonna be at the concert. The concert that he bought tickets to. Because it was already scheduled before police involvement.

[@CruderQuotient1]

The concert wasn't set up just to catch the killer. Hartnett's character already bought the ticket and the police found those tickets and arranged a setup with the singer. The concert was going to happen anyway

[@bdubberz]

That doesn’t make sense either. If they know he bought tickets - they know his name and where he lives.

[@pritamsuryawanshi]

It was the receipt of the ticket. Not the ticket. Anyways no one would be identified by a ticket. It's a ticket not an actual ID. Bt in the movie it's not even a ticket Bt the receipt of the ticket, he may have paid cash for this one.

[@derekgianchetta1731]

They describe the plot in such a stupid way, even when I went and saw it I was pissed i wouldn’t get answers explained but yeah it is perfectly answered in every way and it is in every way feasible. It’s already spoiled in this thread so I’ll chime in with it too, put real simply the concert was just a normal concert but the wife called in suspecting her husband as the serial killer and knew he’d be at the concert so the security locked in on him during the concert. The whole “trap setup” idea is very misleading and stupid thankfully that isn’t the case of the movie at all, just a marketing thing, I’m glad the logic actually makes normal sense.

[@trinaq]

It's great to see Josh Hartnett in a leading role. His character is so charismatic, and has a sweet relationship with his daughter, that you almost forget that he's the baddie. It gives me "You" vibes, with Penn Badgley.

[@robtothejuice]

I’ve always been a fan of his since 30 days of night. That movie is def not a great one imo, but enjoyable and a fun movie. He killed that role tho and made me a fan!

I love your point about crowds and background talent. The Sam Raimi Spidey trilogy makes New York seem like a living, breathing place. And i think a lot of that is because of the extra's and the smaller roles. I was watching Phone Booth recently which is a favorite of mine, and again, the city feels alive. So many people, and cars, hussle and bussle, litter, smog and shop fronts. It feels like a real believable place

No offense Chris but I don’t think anyone got anything from that review. You complimented Josh’s performance, which is great and makes sense. You mentioned M. Night’s daughter generating a whole album for it, cool fact to add. And then you mentioned how nice it is to see a lot extras in a film again (sort of makes sense)…. But that’s it. Doesn’t really feel like a review. You didn’t mention the endless plotholes in this movie, endless convenience for the characters, far too much of M. Night’s daughter and her music shown, the list could go on. I think Chris if you’re going to make videos like this don’t use a “Movie Review” template. Make it more a film study template and discuss how some shots are made. Use the platform to teach everyday people more about lighting, camera work, acting strategies and just overall how everything works on set. I think that would be a much cooler and far better fit video concept for your channel.

[@jonathanbrooks1651]

Yeah, it would make more sense if he changed the format to be more in line with what he's doing now. If he feels too uncomfortable making a real review of a new movie, he should try to do something else with the channel. He doesn't owe us anything.

This really isn't a review, it's just you talking about technicalities. I'm glad you acknowledge that it's great when a movie is what the movie maker wants it to be (especially since you're a film maker yourself), but from a viewer's point of view I didn't get anything from this "review". Your "reviews" don't feel like they have any objectivity nowadays, which doesn't make me want to go see the movie. I dunno, I used to really value your take on films, but now it almost feels like you're doing a disservice to movie by not critiquing anything - just selling it regardless of quality. I'm not saying your review is wrong (there is subjectivity in reviews, obviously), but these same takes feel meaningless. Maybe instead of "reviews" you do breakdowns? Or how they inspired you? Whatever - I'm super looking forward to Shelby Oaks and backed it because I've loved your work for years now. Just wanted to share my thoughts as one of those fans.

I get what you are saying. I generally have always been interested in Chris’ opinion on films. we don’t always have the same taste in films, but he’s good at walking through the important aspects of a film that I value. In this one, it definitely sounds like he’s focusing solely on the context surrounding the film and technical aspects and not so much the story itself, which is a little strange considering how mixed the reviews have been so far.

[@Eoryu]

I actually would appreciate that pivot much more than these "reviews" and it would give Chris a fun angle to approach movies now for his channel since he wants to avoid being critical in any way.

[@serpientes83]

Amen to that, I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way. Since he did his first film, he stopped giving real opinions and ratings. So I don't know why he keeps doing these. Feels like he's trying to look good and it just doesn't feel like he's being honest. This video reminded me of why I stopped watching. Which sucks cause he was my go-to guy.

The movie is so bad that I had a dream afterwards about telling people how bad it was. It's not just the concept's execution. The turn involving a limousine was even more ridiculous, to the point it seems meta-comical. Almost so-bad-it's-funny territory, only with Shyamalan at his absolute bottom. The script itself-dialogue, minor turns, etc.-barely ever hits C grade. Those low low budget blockbuster knockoffs have more respect for the audience than this does. Gobsmacked that Stuckmann was positive about any of this. Unless he took a potent edible beforehand, sorry to say this review has lost him my respect as a fellow film aficionado. His reviews became uniformly positive once he turned filmmaker himself, which I thought was down to selectivity but now it seems more like a bias: he simply isn't objective anymore. Regrettably, as filmmaker, seems like he's trying to circle-jerk his way into the circle. That's not what I subscribed for. Hartnett is good though.

I feel like there are a lot people like us, who want to preserve the excellent parts of classical filmmaking and blend it with the excellent parts of modern filmmaking. After I saw Split, I told myself: "I will not miss one M. Night movie in theatres, ever." And I haven't. Because when I watch M. Nights movies, his movies are purely him and I can connect to his vision. He has a nice old school, Hitchcockian manner of filming while adding his own spin. The detail in the production is beautiful. I have loved every single movie he has made since the Visit, aside from Glass (which I kind of like). Even Old, I know, but I love it. The movies feel so different, so grand and so contained at the same time. It's an event. Like watching Nolan, Fincher or Tarantino. These are the types of movies we need to support. It's a cliché, but please. Give these movies a shot. My verdict about Trap: amazing thriller. Rare movie to get these days, atleast in wide release theatres. Josh Hartnett gives one of the best performances of the year. Probably M. Nights best since Split. And the characters feel natural, for y'all who are worried about M. Nights awkward humour and dialogue.

This is a movie to push his daughter’s music career. You don’t play full songs of an amateur unless you want to sell her songs on Spotify to make her money. And let’s not be too naive here… she didn’t write the songs for this movie… they are part of her music catalog that she wanted to showcase.

But here again, we have a director who lets his ego make poor decisions and a desire to push his daughter’s music over making a good movie.

I went and saw it yesterday. It's one of those films where I wish I was in the writers room, because I have so many questions. There are several scenes where the camera zooms in or there's a jump cut, because it's impossible to explain how he can get away with so much of what he does, in such a crowded place. Like pushing a girl down a giant set of stairs without anyone seeing him do it?! Leaving his daughter alone at the concert like 8 times before she starts to wonder why, and none of the thousands of cops around him sees him come and go? And the humor seems really strange in some scenes, as the film is otherwise serious, like a second unit filmed all the comedy aspects and they only realised it didn't fit the rest of the film in post. It's unfortunate because the idea for Trap is really good, and everything about the concert from the music to the performance is very convincing. I just wish it was put in the hands of more capable writers.
