Critics Consensus

An arch thriller given some grounding by Josh Hartnett's committed performance, Shyamalan's Trap will ensnare those who appreciate its tongue-in-cheek style while the rest will be eager to wriggle out from it.

Christina Newland

While Shyamalan has an eye for a Hitchcockian “aha” moment and a great sense of suspense, he stretches willing suspension of disbelief just a little too far, making Trap more of an acting showcase than a thriller masterclass.

Rated: 3/5

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

It's not as good as his best work; it's not as bad as his worst work, but it does encapsulate the thing that makes [Shyamalan] so infuriating.

Chicago Reader

For some, puzzling out the “big twist” will be enough to sustain interest in the enjoyable, if nonsensical, third act. The real twist, for me, was realizing that The Sixth Sense came out 25 years ago.

Trap is better than most of the Shyamalan nonsense routinely foisted on us over the past quarter-century, although its entertainment value doubtless increases if one enters the arena completely clueless.

Rated: 2.5/4

Elements of Madness

... follows that same path of fascinating idea whose best parts are worth turning over in one’s mind, dissecting them to see how they’re constructed and executed, even as the weaker bolts and support pieces threaten to buckle under the inspiration.

Rated: 3/5

The Blu Spot

Trap offers up an intriguing scenario & a compelling first half... but unfortunately the second half descends into quite a bit of silliness that will have you rolling your eyes as the story spirals off into some rather ridiculous directions.

Rated: 3/5

Two or three decent lines but the rest of the movie is so dull. It was just made so directors daughter could sing.
