Fun Fact: The FBI profiler is Hayley Mills. She is the actress that played the twins in The Original Parent Trap in 1961 and was Miss Bliss in the first three seasons of Saved by the Bell, which was originally called Good Morning Miss Bliss but later just titled the reruns later to Saved by the Bell.
I personally liked this film and I wasn’t bored at all. And there were folks that hated it, thought it was trash and so on. Not to mention going as far as saying that M. Night’s daughter ruined the film because she took too much screen time and I’m just like “So what of it?” I didn’t care and just accepted it. Josh Hartnett totally killed it with him as a villain and definitely left an impression of me. So people can hate the film all they want, but that doesn’t mean that other folks like myself are going to play follow the leader and immediately agree with one individual or two. I didn’t have the will to listen to bad review videos with people coming out with bad takes, but I had the will to listen to your review. And solid review 👍🏾
I loved the entire first act of the film until he escaped the concert and then it they just give M.Night's daughter's Character soooo much screentime(not to mention her acting is bad) without any build-up what so ever And she just left after so many scenes that doesn't do anything to her character at all. The butcher is the only character I genuinely rooted. Glad they kept him alive.
My question to you is....what direction could you see them taking the sequel? Him going after his ex wife and trying to take the kids away from her? Or him completely starting over in a new country somewhere?
I watched Trap again. Some puzzle pieces fell into place) I pay attention on the constant switching between the light side (loving father) and the dark side (serial killer) of Hartnett's character throughout the film, even coexisting in some scenes (The Dreamer Girl scene, Riley on stage and profiler nearby, also scene Cooper listening Where Did She Go at home) and the contrast between Lady Raven's concepts of "wholeness" and Cooper's concepts of "pieces". Great parallels comparing the minor characters playing by Kid Cudi and Russ. The Thinker is dual: one side for public and other side for those nearby, Parker always stable. A particularly interesting moment is the worsening of Cooper’s illness since childhood due to his mother’s inability to adequately help him. That theme starts from Release song in the beginning of the movie and ends conversation with Lady Raven and Cooper's wife. So my conclusion is M.Night wrote script for viewers who might think about dark and light sides in each of us and how it affects our loved ones, and how they affects us.
I listened her songs, including the soundtrack to Servant and Old, they were good. But I was still very surprised to see how great she was in Trap. The actions of the characters in the scenes and the very tone of the scenes fit perfectly with the songs that are played in these scenes. Release, Hiding, Divine, Liar...et cetera..) I can’t choose the best)
So glad to see a positive review. Josh’s character had to deal with internal emotions that made him “weird” at times and almost unbelievable but that's realistic because he was working it all out as he went, WHILE trying to not let his daughter know what was going on. I also think thr twist was the location change. Cuz then you say, “now what?” this isn't what we expected to see. Now anything can happen.
As for "almost unbelievable" I presume it's probably done to show when Cooper's dark side takes over but he tries to act like a friendly guy at the same time, which doesn't always come naturally to Cooper, as he's not a very good actor for a serial killer) So I considered those moments a positive aspect of the film. Twist was about tickets receipt I guess)
I really loved this movie. Obviously there were some things that were kind of sus like how the wife handled things & the limo scene but they also made it an even better thriller at the same time. The only thing I didn’t care for was the mom of his daughter’s friend. She was just annoying. I thought the twists were really well done and the ending was perfect plus the mid credit scene was funny. It opened the door for more from this character too!
this movie was pretty cool, glad they tried something new. but it needed more josh hartnett, he killed his role, i’d like to see more of this character in the future
100%. I was very surprised at how good he performed and how memorable his character was despite such a short screen time. I would like to see a continuation of this story!
The same. M.Night and Josh did a really good job of creating the stadium scenes so you could empathize with Cooper to get out. Hell, I even empathized his light side later, while he was listening to Where Did She Go at home. What a brilliant performance by Josh Hartnett!
Just watched the movie today. Really enjoyed it and Josh Hartnett was incredible!! Knew he’d kill the role after watching him in the Black Mirror Beyond the Sea episode.
this movie was SO crazy with SO many twists and turns like half of me wanted him to get caught so many times and the other half of me was not surprised on how he kept getting away. and their SO MANY red flag hear and their and hearing people laughing and snickering in the crowd like we could all see the RED flag.and the ending how he took the spike off the bike wheel to pick the lock to his handcuffs I did not see that until someone in the crowd called it out when the camera turned back to the bike to show that one of the spike was missing. also is this movie based on a true story ?
Unfortunately, Last Airbender is an overproduced studio film. I was so happy when I found out that since The Visit he has been making films entirely with his own money and no one interferes with his creative process.
You should never take reviews seriously. Watch and decide on your own. Shyamalan makes good movies, people just like to overhype them too much. I enjoyed Old even though it had terrible reviews, along with The Visit among others
@@robdurfee6861the visit was mediocre. Knock at the cabin that one was pretty decent(even tho it came out last year feels like it came out years ago). I actually got this movie spoiled already by reviewers and the movie sounds idiotic If I’m being honest.
@@robdurfee6861 The Visit had a lot of bad reviews? Do people still think that Shyamalan's intentional humor is unintentional humor? :D Iike all of his films except After Earth, which I still haven't seen. It's funny how viewers' expectations affect their ratings. Unbreakable gets C on CinemaScore. Ratings are unreliable)
Didn’t like the movie nun too crazy didn’t happen didnt actually see him be crazy he had the same person trapped the whole movie idk I was expecting a lil bit more crazier scenes since it was labeled as a horror movie
Great idea but very poorly executed to me. The movie was not thrilling in the slightest, and didn’t become interesting until the third act. The real trap was M night making listen to his daughter’s music.

Grew up on that film 🎥
Exactly!! I was so annoyed when people kept referring to her as “the old lady.” Put some respect on her name!
Cool)

I think people who are hating it is just because it was made by M Night.
@@larocomel Yep. That’s probably it.
@@larocomel I talked to several haters. One gets the feeling that they either didn’t watch Trap at all, or watched it VERY poorly))

THANKKKKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU IM SAYING BRO💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
After seeing Josh Hartnett in this I think he would be the perfect Two-Face for James Gunn’s DCU.
My question to you is....what direction could you see them taking the sequel? Him going after his ex wife and trying to take the kids away from her? Or him completely starting over in a new country somewhere?
@@SBzKillFrenzy not sure
@@SBzKillFrenzy He's hunting for Kid Cudi's character))
@@Str52849 lmao!!!! Broo wtf was that? Lol 😂 he was buggin out in this movie for the small role he had

I sat and smiled stupidly while his character was on screen. What comedic talent he has!)

Honestly, yes! Lady Raven/ Saleka is so talented and so beautiful.

Did you catch the mid-credit scene? The guy was like, “wait, that was Cooper? I ain’t talking to anyone at work ever again!”

She was deliberately annoying, so that we would unwittingly begin to take Cooper’s side in conversations with her)
My friend and I enjoyed it. Another example of why I never listen to critics. I listen to me.
this movie was pretty cool, glad they tried something new. but it needed more josh hartnett, he killed his role, i’d like to see more of this character in the future
I thought at the end the mother was gonna reveal she was the butcher’s assistant or something
I totally was expecting the same thing. I even leaned over to my dad and said this when she was standing at the sink after the fbi left the first time
Added all the songs to my playlist lmao 🔥
Cudi character was hilarious 😂 😅😅😅😅😅😅
100%. I was very surprised at how good he performed and how memorable his character was despite such a short screen time. I would like to see a continuation of this story!
@@Str52849 EXACTLY LOL
Really enjoyed it too. Ill never get the Shyhamalan hate
I loved it. I was rooting for him to get out of the stadium lol
The same. M.Night and Josh did a really good job of creating the stadium scenes so you could empathize with Cooper to get out. Hell, I even empathized his light side later, while he was listening to Where Did She Go at home. What a brilliant performance by Josh Hartnett!
My best friends wife is M Nights hair stylist in Chester County. They go to his Halloween parties haha
in my mind, i only know the black hawk down version of Josh, so seeing him in this as the villain was great
A better movie would be a story of a father taking his daughter to a Brittney/Taylor/Miley Cyrus concert and losses his mind 10:000 screaming girls...
Been there, done that. It’s as bad as you think lol
This is not a movie. This is very real))
The movie was filmed in Toronto all of it was.
if a villian makes you hate them then they did their acting well. I hated Joeffrey too but he played that part well.
Just watched the movie today. Really enjoyed it and Josh Hartnett was incredible!! Knew he’d kill the role after watching him in the Black Mirror Beyond the Sea episode.
Thanks for such an interesting review! I'm looking forward to Shyamalan coming to your channel to chat, like Tony Gilroy did before)
Just watched, I loved it
Lucky Number Slevin was that movie.
Great movie!
What do you guys think of Josh Hartnett playing Michael Myers in a Halloween movie? Even before this came out i was thinking he could do it lol
It was kinda mid. Not bad not great either. Just something to watch if you’re bored but I wouldn’t spend $20 on a ticket that’s for sure

The Twist is.....
The wife
*Yeah, I'll still check it out....on streaming.*
no it's a theater film.... feels like you're at a concert!
I was very surprised at how cool this movie looks in the theater. Definitely Shyamalan's most visually beautiful and entertaining film.
@@wa-bu3ke 100%!
Is there really a TRUE and PERFECT escape from this dangerous………………….TRAP?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
It was a good movie. Not the best M. Night movie, but still good.
I like movies made by M Night except Avatar😂
Unfortunately, Last Airbender is an overproduced studio film. I was so happy when I found out that since The Visit he has been making films entirely with his own money and no one interferes with his creative process.
I have watched any of his movies for 24 yearsn😅😅
Same here. In cinemas?
It was awesome
MIGHT be a new split/glass/unbreakable!
If he escaped at the end from that truck...I'm not gonna lie that'd be bad writing
It’s wild that I’m here first!
Bro wtf she’s 12
Yall watch Long Legs?
I did think she was a baddie
Movie was fun
Acting was good
It was funny in parts
Felt like a video game with missions lol.
It’s a movie about being a dad
Heard nothing but negative reviews about this one. I’ll check it out just to make fun out of it when it comes out on streaming

Crap
Movie was pure trash. Y'all didn't go see Longlegs 😂
long legs was boring asf
@@rooster-bh6td It was lol. I wanted to hear what they had to say about it.
Trap is better than Cuckoo and Longlegs
@@wa-bu3ke haven’t seen cuckoo yet how was it
@@rooster-bh6td It's worth watching
The new crow is better than this movie
Big disagree with you guys for the first time lol. I personally found it the least watchable m night movie by far even over after earth glass and shit
