Trap feels like a Shyamalan movie through and through — for better and worse
It must be tricky marketing a M. Night Shyamalan movie. Reveal too much in the initial trailer for a movie like Trap, and it hinders the audience’s experience of the film. Reveal too little, and there is no clear hook for said audience to even step into the theater. Then there’s the tightrope the director himself must walk in unfolding the story: Trap is about a serial killer named Cooper (Josh Hartnett), who goes to a pop music concert with his daughter, only to find out that the event is an elaborate — wait for it — trap to catch him.
