M. Night Shyamalan brings us a thriller with an interesting premise; a serial killer trying to escape a concert, which is actually a trap....does the execution do the premise justice? Here's my review for TRAP!

I’m good my man
Your link says jhans
Can’t wait to waste my money :)
How are they still making got mobile games…
😆Watch first half then stop SHOULD be a new rating. Yes sir.
Mark this day, ladies and gentlemen:
The day Jeremy Jahns made a brand new rating.
😂
Aghhhh NEW RATING!!!!
Thank you M. Night Chananigans🙏🏿
As Ceaser said,"What a wonderful day"
What a twist
Shyamalan so powerful a filmmaker he got Jeremy to create a new rating... what a twist!
Edit: I’m sorry how many likes?! Very cool, thank you guys
I can never not hear that last part without hearing Robot Chicken
I came to say the same thing 😂😂😂
Damn it. We just got Shyamalan in real life
When you order a pretzel, "what a twist"
It's Shyaman time
All you need to know is the pop star was fully informed of the situation at hand, yet allowed a stranger to speak with her in private inside her dressing room alone with the door shut.
This movie wasn’t great and literally everyone was making dumb decisions throughout the movie 🤦
She had mad plot armor though being Shaymalan's daughter
@@ZM-dm3jg😂
This IS all I need to know. Thanks, OP.
Nope! You missed it. Look for my comment.
The first half of this movie felt like a hitman game adaptation and I loved it. Scout area, take out person, no killing, change outfit, scout area, find intel, change outfit.... Then the second half came.
Good observations!
so true, it fell apart as soon as they make contact with the pop star
So true😂. I agree 💯
yes that's what i thought especially because hitman the new trilogy has settings similar to the concert in this film
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.
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.
That’s exactly what I thought from watching the trailer…
That legit just happened on a popular tv show so it wouldve been repetitive if that was the case. Wouldve been dope if the entire family was just a whole house full of serial killers though.
I thought he was a vigilante and the guy locked in his basement was the killer
@@SupremeGon which tv show?
@elbis1964 i was trying not to spoil it but it's called Presumed Innocent. It was pretty good.
Regardless of if this movie is good or bad, it’s great to see Josh Hartnett at the forefront of a movie again. Dude was the man in 30 Days of Night.
Edit: This might be the first mass liked TH-cam comment that has no arguments, just Josh Hartnett love 🤣 also thanks for the movie recommendations y’all!
That movie and Lucky Number Slevin made me a fan of him.
@@mikedelvalle931 both great movies :D
I semi liked him in the faculty but that makes me sound old aswelll :P
Absolutely!!!!
@Kakascii even in Pearl Harbor
Completely agree. He was big in the early to mid 2000's (Pearl Harbor, Black Hawk Down, Lucke Number Slevin etc.) - and now he suddenly is in Oppenheimer and this, and kills it in both movies.
Jeremy's npc skills are spot on Bethesda games dialogue 🔥
😂😂😂 indeed
As indeed, every Shyamalan film ever...
😂😂😂
I love that part 😂
"Stop right there you criminal scum!!*
That NPC impression was golden 😂😂😂
The eye movements were so accurate.
It’s all in the shoulders 😂
Platinum.
All can say is that it’s nice seeing Josh Hartnett on screen again.
He was in Oppenheimer last year...?
He's wasted in this garbage.
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.
1:03 It's said that whenever M. Night Shyamalan makes a film, the Gods flip a coin into the air, and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.
"I understood that reference"
Seems like this one landed on its edge.
@@sablephoenixThank you. I need to know how little expectations I need to watch any of his recent films. Once adjusted, they can be enjoyed.
It's said that whenever M. Night Shyamalan makes a film, he takes a shit and calls it god. Wait, did I mess that up?
« It is known. »
After so many years, Jeremy has finally dropped a new rating! This is truly a great day!
I wonder where it ranks
He is absolutely right. 100% deserves this rating.
@@poppysgtspanky Before no alcohol required and after T minus 1 day
Anyone know why Jeremy didn't review The Boys season 4 yet?
@@graffiti.777 Because its terrible
Movie wasn’t as good as I hoped it would be. But Josh Hartnett was awesome in this.
Goodbye hear. He more than Shyamalan is why I am interested in this movie.
Shyamalan is actually bad director.
He have one good movie, only because McAvoy made great performances in Split.
Signs is not a good movie, awful script and execution.
I am watching this movie only because of Josh Hartnett.
Lucky Number Slevin is one of my favourites movies
Eeeeeh… not sure why people glom onto him after having fallen back after a few years; I thought he did some interesting stuff working with Guy Ritchy, but mostly he’s unremarkable
they gave away the whole thing in the trailer basically
@@giannisksanthopoulos4300uh the sixth sense?
Split was a surprise, I didn't think it would be good. Than glass was horrible when I hoped it would be good 😂
For me Split is ok movie, but McAvoy was perfect there and he made the movie look awesome.
From all his movies....i only liked Split and Sex Sense
@@giannisksanthopoulos4300 "Sex" Sense? Never heard of it. Got any link? 😏
Signs is actually way better than a good chunk of people give it credit for
@@giannisksanthopoulos4300sex sense? Uh-oh, I'm not sure you've watched the same movie as the rest of us buddy
Josh Hartnett will join Glass 2
Kid Cudi cosplaying as Lil Nas X was hilarious.
I don't know who any of those people are, but I bet it was.
I thought that was him!!! And Russ, I was like oh shit!
completely caught me off guard! lol

@@92brunod"im super cool and down to earth because i don't know who famous people are"
Jeremy looks like a guy named Jeremy
Frfr
Well he is named Jeremy
As a Jeremy myself, can confirm.
Looks more like a Harry, though. Maybe an Ed. A Derek?
🤣😂🤣💯
Say what you will about M. Night, but he keeps making unique films in a time when most of Hollywood are making generic blockbusters! Gotta give him props for that!
Nope
nonsense, original non blockbuster films get released constantly. People either don't know or don't watch them
Its like a genies wish. Me: "I wish for original mainstream movies"
Genie: "Granted. A director in Hollywood will give you original mainstream movies BUT most of them are going to be shit"
Around 6000 films are made each year, there's a ton of original crap out there, they just never get circulated in the market.
This movie isn’t original
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.
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?
@@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.
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.
You can't think about anything in this movie for even a second or it completely falls apart.
@@ammohamboneI don’t think people in m night movies behave like real people
Bro this film had me so angry with the ridiculous plot holes that I nearly left, I've never left a movie theater ever.
Same here
@@Cut4entertainment Bro... she had 2 mobile phones in the toilet but told her driver to call the police rather than just call the police herself... or send the address to the FBI woman?!?!?!
and why not smash his phone no sending the death code then
“Watch the first half on streaming then stop.” Oh please let that be a new rating. Jeremy I have watched you ever since your Revenge of the Fallen review and you crack me the hell up. Thank you for all the awesome reviews, the laughs and the memories. I have recommended you to my buds for years and you are the best. Thank you man.
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
Harnett tried but didn't kill it. He needs more practice.
Oh my god, "watch the first half then stop" should totally be a new rating!
And what is ironic is I watched a different review that said the third act is the best part of the movie. So either Jeremy is wrong or that review is wrong.
@@missourigreen051the third act enjoyable cause of the lead
A LOT of movies are effective in the build-up department, then don’t know what to do with it. It makes sense as a common take on the Hollywood industry.
Make it happen. We haven't had a new rating in a long time.
So the mom found out he was the serial killer, but let the police endanger 30,000 people at a concert including her daughter to try and flush him out?
It would of been better just to put him under surveillance
4:07 I laughed out loud
Just imagine if they didn’t spoil the fact that he was the serial killer in the trailer how much more suspenseful the film would’ve been.
Nice one for spoiling the film for more people
You know it’s him really early though, you’d have to be slow to not realise
@@lewisaspden3217you’re watching a review complaining about spoilers
@@lewisaspden3217The trailer shows he’s the killer. I assume you mean the trailer spoiled the movie??
@heroicsquirrel3195 aye, a spoiler free review. That’s how I gauge if a film is good, listen to reviews and word of mouth. Also I avoided the trailers as I do with all horror films. It’s my fault for reading the comments I suppose
I will say the ending drag a bit, it was one of those "oh, we're still going?", but good tension throughout the first half
Especially since we as the audience had questions the whole time. Why did he risk going back to his wife for petty vengeance? Why did he let the Lady Raven leave? Why does he see ghosts of his mother? Was the FBI lady his mother? If not, why frame it that way in the doorway?? Why is he laughing after getting locked up in the vehicle? What does he plan to do next after the credits end? SO MANY GODDAMN QUESTIONS !!!
@@batmanvsuperman_ Well obviously he's laughing because he's got more tricks up his sleeve (literally) to escape. As to the other stuff: He went back to his wife because he figured out she must have tipped off the police, he let the singer leave because he wasn't going to run over his kids or murder Raven in front of them, the fbi lady reminds him of his mother because she can profile him the way his mom understands him.
I thought the movie was just ok after they leave the concert, but I wasn't left confused by anything
@@jonseon5952 More tricks up his sleeve like what? Getting caught soon as he steps out to 15 more FBI trucks ??? He himself said this is the end of his rope. Last one and he’s done with living. Now that his daughter & family are gone… what does he have to go back for?
Why let Lady Raven escape the limo?? He could lock the doors from the front, drive off, ANYTHING but sit there reactionless.
Mother & FBI lady dialogue is nothing alike. His mother says “you’re not a monster” - meanwhile FBI lady just states common sense facts about how he operates, nothing moral is mentioned.
Cannot believe I just witnessed the birth of a new Jeremy Jahns rating.
What a time to be alive.
And what is ironic is I watched a different review that said the third act is the best part of the movie. So either Jeremy is wrong or that review is wrong.
Better twists than we got.
1. Josh Hartnet was not the killer. He was being manipulated by the killer.
2. After kidnapping the singer at night, turns out she's a werewolf and that this was the real trap.
3. Bruce Willis was a ghost the entire time.
I like 1 and 2!
I was honestly hoping it was his daughter that was the killer and he was doing everything in his power to A.) let her satiate that bloodlust and B.) protecting her so she wouldn't get caught.
@@NicolaiAAA i remember seeing a movie like that
Finally saw it last night, and I think Josh Hartnett CRUSHED it. I see what you meant about some of the awkwardness/stiffness, but my impression was that it was 100% deliberate, and lent itself perfectly to the story. I'm a fan of this one.
100% agreed. Definitely weaker in the second half but I thought the last 10 minutes wrapped it up well, at least for me.

Yeh it’s an absolute joke hate it

I appreciate M. Night because his movies are at least, interesting. They lack in execution a lot of the time, but the premise of his films makes me want to go see it regardless.
There's like 6 full songs by his daughter in this movie. It's shameless.
Agreed. I enjoyed this one.
Ye its good and refreshing
That George Lucas appeal. Might be a car crash waiting to happen but it's interesting as hell.
@@rafaelgaiarsa6448 You're not very attentive.14 of her songs are heard at varying lengths in the film: from a few seconds to the end credits. All songs range from good to excellent. And the fact that she is his daughter has nothing to do with the essence of the film itself shown. Besides for unprofessional actor Saleka doing great) Well, for those who actually watched the movie ;)
Enjoyment that Hayley mills from the original parent trap movie rigged a trap for a parent in this movie…
Oh my god you're right
"everytime an m night shyamalan film is made, the gods flip a coin"
When you talk about the dialogue, it reminds me of when I watch English dubbed foreign films. Like a simple "yeah" becomes "yes. I would like that very much."
The real trap is keeping us in the theater to watch this movie.
Quote of the Day. You sir win the internet today 🏆
I can’t believe I fell for that 😭😭😭
😂😂😂 exactly!!!
Cmon now it can't be that bad lol
@@palmmahir3888 Same, bro
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.
Because there are thousands of great premises floating around Hollywood.... it's extremely rare to stick the landing. It's the hardest part.
The NPC character bit was solid gold! I don't know how many times I've watched it, but I can't stop laughing. Well done Jeremy, well done!
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?
He doesn't do breakdowns but I'm sure you can find a channel that does.
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 😂😊
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.
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.
She said she left a partial receipt. So they knew he would be there but didn’t know where
*Spoiler Alert*
I just saw the film. In the stadium, Josh's character was considered an UNSUB. So, if no one knew what he looked like, he should have finished watching the concert with daughter and left.
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.
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.
The village is pretty good the first time you see it
@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.
Not boring bad, so that's good bad in my book
After Earth. Lady in the Water... The Last Airbender........

The movie falls apart as soon as the concert is over. And the director's daughter simply can't act... which hurts the movie almost as much as the script in the second half (which has you rolling your eyes very much). 4/10

We got a new Jeremy Jahns rating before GTA6
clever
Fuck that game 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I get why people are raging cause the release date lmao
He made this movie to promote his daughter
He does that twice this year. Last month when his eldest daughter (I think) released a movie produced by him and distributed by Warner Bros and now this one where he's promoting his daughter as a pop singer
Big deal
Exactly what I was thinking the whole time I was watching it
Ahhh so he's doing what a father is supposed to do. Got it
Ok? Star Wars and Superhero films/shows are made to sell toys and merchandise
I agree with you completely. Never seen a bigger tone shift in a movie ever. First half is solid as hell and then they shit their pants for 45 minutes.
I was afraid this was going to happen, I was kinda looking forward to this movie
isn't that M Knight's style though?
@@fayis4everlove unfortunately, yes
I was waiting for “THE TWIST” and was kinda disappointed by what it was revealed to be, unless the VERY LAST SCENE was supposed to be “THE TWIST”
But I agree with what you said about the dialogue not feeling natural. 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.
Haven’t seen it but as a huge 30 Days of Night fan, I’m so happy to see Josh Hartnett back front and centre. Dude has the sauce.
Imma need that deadpool and wolverine spoiler review mate
Watch Pitch Meeting.
Why?
This movie is one of those where the preview felt sufficient -- that is, we saw everything we wanted from the preview, it was fun, and we're reasonably sure that's all we need from it -- 2 minutes of run time was just about perfect, thank you.
Jeremy's NPC impression is on point.
the real trap is that m. daddy shamalan makes you listen to his daughters new mixtape
Don't be surprised if Trap becomes a video game and the goal is to escape. Haven't seen it yet but the review smacks of it. Makes sense. The concert arena just being a giant escape room.
I think the dialog is intentional by the director. It's his style. I think it's cool and gives all his movies an extra creepy factor.
He does troubled serial killer dialogue very well. Ending scene with his shirt off reminded me of Split
I like it too tbh. I know some don't like it but it doesn't bother me. I really liked it in Signs, Split & The Visit.
Jeremy, props to you for upleveling the sponsors to sponsors that I actually enjoy hearing about. LOL
Trap sounds like the biography of Admiral Ackbar.
Dawn of the Trap: A Star Wars Story
I swear this guy is the best. I literally can hear him talk about anything.
Josh was incredible, he did a great job. But you’re so right about it ending as soon as they leave the stadium. I feel like the movie ended and I was just like …okay? So? Like idk I felt kind of nothing in the end especially since I was expecting a classic twist too 🤷♀️
3:50 your NPC is awesome as good as the paladin in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
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
I get that Shyamalan needed his daughter to boost her singing career but yeah, he could've just get someone who can both sing and act very well. Hailee Steinfeld could've been a better choice for that
Oh it's the Dear Evan Hansen thing again
@@LebahG4nteng Or he could have just given her minimal screen time other than the on stage parts. That would have been a much better way to boost her singing career.
Then don't cast your daugher if you're going to need her to act? It shouldn't be that difficult.
6:56 History has been made today 😊
A new Jahns rating. Somewhere in between “if you’re drunk” or “T-minus (insert random time period here)”, I must guess.
Used again today
So great seeing Josh Hartnett back! Always loved him. Unfortunately this felt like a made for tv movie, like most of M. Night's work, it just never feels like a movie if that makes sense. Something always seems off, unpolished, just not quite there yet.
Yes, Josh Hartnett definitely carried the movie! Had to ignore the acting of the singer, but otherwise the length and pacing actually felt good. You mention how it would have been good to show the chase between the FBI profiler and Josh Hartnett, but then that would just make this an episode of Criminal Minds. I did rather enjoy how they showed his relationship with his family, especially with his wife and his daughter. Lastly, I had 0 expectations for this movie, I just watched it for Josh Hartnett. But ended up loving it and recommding to friends to see it. 😊
"Thanks for your help, you can help yourself to the stash inside." **Walks into wall**
Next step for Josh is Hal Jordan in the Lanterns series
Prefer him as Harvey Dent, ngl.
@@Eatos_17 Yeah, now that you mention it, I think he could pull off a good Harvey Dent. I could see him the way he was in Lucky Number Slevin or this film 'Trap'.
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.
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.
I loved this movie, except for Salkeka, I didn't like the part where she went into acting mode. god bless our man Josh Hartnett.
05:23 I HEAR YOU !
same here bro, same here...
I’m 22 and I’ve never heard of her, I don’t think anybody has.
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!

5:33 Nah nah, I’m 24 and have no idea who the daughter is. No middle-aged Jeremy slander 🙏🏽
That's why her dad made a promotional concert video (movie) for her. 😆
To be fair I didn't even know he had kids😂
Here is my take on M. Night Shyamalan movies; the only one I have seen more than once is signs. Trap sounds like a one watch movie as well, if that. Shyamalan movies always start off interesting and then blow it. How he gets to keep making movies is beyond me.
The problem with a serial killer trying to act natural but actually was not (like what you said about Josh's character) was that he would have been recognized by people as a bit off, which would be bad on a day when people were looking for someone that did not act normal. A true criminal would have learned to blend in and hide himself, and not attract attention by questions about what was happening, stealing cell phone and identity card, asking for the password, and even saying his daughter had leukemia just as a way to get backstage. The last was obviously written into the script deliberately so as to be able to prolong Saleka's singing and performance and even gave her the chance to have a long sing and dance along with a preteen girl.
The NPC bit was hilarious
at least his daughter in the film would call him out on that lmao
A Shyamalan movie that surprised me. Well the GOAT obviously... The Happening!!!
The part I still find to extremely dumb is also part in the trailer, where the employee exposition dumps the whole plan that is supposed to be TOP SECRET.
not really, normal people tend to slip up more than you think. That's why most of the time misdirection is needed for something like that to work. But I agree with Jeremy's take on this though, Josh carried the whole film. The acting of the other parts, save maybe his wife, were stiff.
It made zero sense in the trailer .. in the film tho he showed he was a good person at heart, employee is really sensitive to seeing kindess in the world, so he let his guard down cause "well this guy is an upstanding gentlemen"
That was a really helpful and informative T-shirt merchandise vendor... 🙄 some of those scenes reminded me of that extremely helpful security guard played by Chris Farley in the first Wayne World’s film. They wasted Ms. Bliss, too.
That's what I thought was the craziest part of the movie. Why is this merch guy disclosing this much info to someone who could potentially be the serial kill3r? Even after Hartnett's character told him that he was a Fire Marshal, the merch guy doesn't ask to see a badge or ID proving that? I literally got a kick out of how many bad decisions the other characters made in the movie.
The thing grinding my gears the most, is that Josh Harnett would put the earpiece in perfectly at a time to hear from start to finish, the information he needs to hear to make the next decision.
Honestly, the main actor carried the movie, Josh Hartnett is really good in the few films that I've seen him in and this is no different. Was the movie spectacular? Nah, was it entertaining? Yeah It was, maybe not much of a thriller as I hoped for, but it was rather different.
Gotta give it to M. Knight, now we have a new Jeremy rating
Why did you call me out like that Jeremy?! Going to go see Deadpool again tomorrow 😂
So John Rocha was saying that they apparently didn't screen this to ANYONE except people doing immediate press for the movie because it had such a massive twist... I think that kinda warped my expectations a bit but overall I enjoyed the movie. Like you said the first act is definitely SUPER strong and the rest feels weaker, but overall incredible performance from Josh Hartnett. Shymalan does do a REALLY good job getting great performances out of actors IMO between this, Split, and Knock at the Cabin.
I waited the entire movie for the big signature Shymalan twist .. it was so tiny 😐
Lame twist.@@batmanvsuperman_
For everyone who watched this review. When you talk to your kids in years to come, you will say, "I was there, when Jeremy Jahns created a new rating value in his rating scale off the top of his head."
That Game NPC sequel you did was GOLD! 😂
Now i want a choose your adventure game written by shamaladingdong
Right
A new rating? What a twist!
it’s crazy how I live for these reviews lmaooo
Yeah, that is crazy
Weird
Me since 2012...
@@guts311 weird for enjoying content? ok. 💀
@@UncleFlaynus oh well 🤷🏾♂️💀
You're not alone Jeremy I didn't know M. Night's Daughter was a professional singer either.
I enjoyed most of it but the 3rd act really falls apart. When the daughter gets more involved idk why he didn't just off the hostage.
Loved the first half, wish it was longer in the concert section.
The profiler was actress Hayley Mills daughter of Sir John Mills
I wish the WHOLE MOVIE took place in that concert :(
He never went down that ladder.
Love the idea of a new rating
Josh Harnett was fantastic in this movie. Would have loved to see more interaction with the vendor character. They made a good team.
Hartnett is not "rusty." He's been excellent and critically acclaimed in many recent roles.
Black Mirror was the first thing I saw Josh Hartnett in and he blew me away with his performance
M. Night movie that surprised me: Split.
Not only did I like it, I kind of love it. It's not perfect but, damn, it's good.
So would that mean the exorcist believer would be rated "watch the first half on streaming then stop."
Yeah, Fogerty!
DRINKING GAME: take a shot everytime jeremy says shyamalan
Josh Hartnet was awesome in the series "Penny Dreadful". Such a great, well done, horror/suspense ride once you accept and get over the unlikely mash-up of almost every gothic horror story. That it works is a testament to the wonderful writing, acting and quality production.
Too bad the ending was rushed and shit. :(
