Post Strike Cinema 24' - Trap

Trap is the latest psychological thriller film from M. Night Shyamalan. It's also the return to the big screen for Josh Hartnett.

Now Shyamalan keeps it in the family, with his eldest daughter playing a Taylor Swift style pop star, Night Raven. Saleka Shyamalan sings, dances around the stage, then takes a different turn in the second half of the film.

Alongside Hartnett & Shyamalan, Trap also stars, Ariel Donoghue, M. Night Shyamalan (yes, you will spot him), Hayley Mills, and Alison Pill. 

The funniest character in the film is Marnie McPhail as Jody's mom. This is full blown KAREN!

So what's Trap about? The film, follows a serial killer evading a police blockade while attending a concert with his daughter. Trap was released earlier this week, but damn, it's an edge of the seat kind of film. From the concert to the Butchers chase.

Hartnett is great as Cooper has also has an evil alter ego.

M. Night Shyamalan's works are sometimes a bit hit & miss. This is more hit than miss. It's been a strange US summer blockbuster movie season. Deadpool and Wolverine might be saving the cinema right now, however it's very hit and miss out there.

Trap was fun, interesting while feeling fairly original. I would more than pass this with 3 stars. It's worth the price of the ticket plus struggling in and out of Broadway Shops carpark. Honestly what the fuck is wrong with that place.
