TRAP

M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film stars Josh Harnett as Cooper, AKA ‘The Butcher’, a serial killer who takes his young daughter to a concert, only to find that the police have cordoned off the exits in their search for him. While the premise may sound intriguing, the execution falls flat with wooden acting, a lack of chemistry between characters, and an absurd, far fetched plot. Cooper’s demeanour becomes more suspicious as he tries to find a way out of the stadium, but the hundreds of police present are frustratingly incompetent and fail to realise that he’s walking amongst them. That’s just the warm up for this film to get even more disappointing and ridiculous as it goes on. Give it a hard pass.
