What happens when you mix a pop concert, a father-daughter duo, and a serial killer plot? In this thrilling bonus episode," I, Rob Miranda, am joined by Brandon Cole to dissect M. Night Shyamalan's latest film, "Trap." We kick things off by sharing our mutual love for Shyamalan's "Knock at the Cabin," despite its mixed reviews, and explore the signature twist that keeps us coming back for more. From discussing Josh Hartnett’s compelling performance to our varied reactions to the movie’s ending, we leave no stone unturned.
Despite our initial excitement, "Trap" had its fair share of letdowns, particularly from the over-revealing trailers. We dive into the film's pacing, acting, and dialogue, especially critiquing the underwhelming performance by Shyamalan's daughter. Our conversation touches on the promising premise but also the implausible elements like the unrealistic police operations and out-of-place celebrity cameos, making us question the film's overall direction. What could have been an edge-of-your-seat thriller sometimes fell flat due to these missed opportunities.
Brandon and I also break down the movie's most absurd scenes, from a convoluted hostage situation to character inconsistencies that left us scratching our heads. We even speculate on whether the film's ending could spark a new serial killer franchise, despite its flaws. Join us as we balance the entertaining aspects with the logical pitfalls and share some laughs over the film's more ridiculous moments. And, don't miss our excitement for next week’s episode with a special guest who’s sure to bring fresh perspectives to our discussion!
