TheLeon Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Killer premise, can’t wait. My only disappointment is that it’s not a Mid Size Sedan concert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Is the twist that he is a serial killer, but they aren't there for him so he spends the whole movie in his head thinking they are out to get him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I didn’t know they filmed this in Toronto, but I really liked the premise of the movie. So count me in for a viewing, maybe even at the theatre. I also hope they don’t release anything new trailer wise, and ruin anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I'm in. I love Shyamalan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury33 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I’m in, that looks great. Josh Hartnett is also criminally underrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Solid flick, interesting "twist" and take here for what you are led to believe from trailers. Rewatchability however isn't there, but glad to enjoy in theaters! Also, credits scene is hysterical AF! 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 Loved it, although I’m in the camp that thinks M Night’s been delivering pretty consistently for a decade now, so grain of salt and all that. Hartnett is so much fun in this. It’s also great imagining Shyamalan coming up with this premise while taking his daughter to the Eras Tour (although from what I understand it was mostly written before that tour started). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 This was a weirdly uninteresting movie considering the premise, with many explanations given that made us feel like so what? Nothing seemed to actually matter, and nothing really happened. The scene during the credits brought the house down, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that I loved it, but I enjoyed this movie a good bit. The plot makes very little sense except in your typical "heightened reality" Shyamalan movie but once you get past how little sense any of the film makes I found it to be an incredibly entertaining time. Hartnett fucking killed it with his continually increasing off kilter performance and this thing escalates in ways you just don't think the movie will. A solid recommend, 7/10. I'm surprised, based on RT and IMDb, that people are more down on this movie than I expected given that it's a lot of fun. Knock at the Cabin was better, and both this movie and that one falter in the final 1/3, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sense I get from most people who didn’t like Trap is they think he was trying to make a taut, serious thriller and failed. You know, the movie based on the incredibly serious and realistic premise of setting up a massive manhunt for a murder suspect at a concert with 30,000 people? The entire thing is completely absurd. Night knows it, and the audience should know it when the very first person Hartnett talks to gives away the entire thing at like minute 10 of the movie. He cast Hayley Mills simply for the joke that she was in The Parent Trap, and this is a movie about… trapping a parent. It’s a deeply silly movie, and I think some people weren’t into that. Meanwhile, I had a big dumb grin on my face the entire time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, I had a big dumb grin on my face the entire time. This was my take as well - the movie isn't serious like it's trying to be Unbreakable or something. It's trying to be a really fun time with a unique premise and killer acting and you get exactly that with this one. It's not like it's incompetently made or missing scenes or poorly edited or something. Yeah, I mean, his daughter did a great job with the music parts and not so great a job with the acting bits but you really have to miss the tone of this movie to not like it.

SoberChef Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 At the end of the day, if THIS was more or less a little project for Josh to heighten his stock going forward in his career, I'm totally here for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
