An interesting yet somewhat underwhelming addition to Shyamalan's filmography. While the movie has some intriguing elements, it struggles to deliver the suspense and twists that Shyamalan is known for. One of the standout aspects of Trap is Josh Hartnett's performance. Hartnett brings a depth and intensity to his role that elevates the material. His portrayal of the protagonist is both compelling and nuanced, making him the highlight of the film. However, despite Hartnett's strong performance, the movie falls short in other areas. The plot, while initially engaging, becomes predictable and lacks the surprising twists that audiences have come to expect from Shyamalan. The pacing also feels uneven, with certain scenes dragging on while others are rushed. The supporting cast does a decent job, but their characters are not as well-developed, making it hard to connect with them. Additionally, the dialogue at times feels stilted and unnatural, detracting from the overall experience. In conclusion, the movie is a mixed bag. Josh Hartnett's standout performance is a definite plus, but the film's predictable plot and uneven pacing prevent it from being truly memorable. It’s worth a watch if you’re a fan of Hartnett, but don’t expect it to be one of Shyamalan’s best works.

Worst Saw sequel in my opinion, didn’t carry any punch to it as the previous ones. Jigsaw traps were pretty amateurish, the script and dialogue was very poor, even John Kramer’s acting wasn’t convincing neither what I was looking for. The 2nd half of the movie was all wasted on a meaningless revengeful trap and introducing unnecessary characters. Ending was a bit open-ended, I’d say the most exciting part was catching Hoffman in the movie.
