Trap is a movie about a dad who seems innocent and fun to be around, but when you know the truth, it will scare you. We meet Cooper and his daughter Riley, who are heading towards a concert. When they arrive and are inside, he realizes something is off because of the amount of security there is. He befriends a worker and asks him what is going on. He says that the “Butcher is here”. No one else knows that, besides the staff and the police, this entire concert is a sting operation. Cooper tries to leave but can’t because every door is guarded, and they have a tip that he has an animal tattoo on his right arm. He covers it with a wristband when he hears it on the radio he stole. When he tries escaping he uses anybody, he lies to one of the backstage managers and says that her daughter has a deadly illness and it would mean the world to her if she can get up on stage and sing. His plan was to try to escape through backstage but figures out an even better plan evolving the singer. We can see how manipulated he is and smart. As the movie unfolds we figure out someone planted evidence where he killed someone, this is how the FBI knew he was gonna be here. This movie is an amazing thriller-type movie, and the ending is jaw-dropping. This movie is worth watching with the strong writing and not trying to spoil it but there might be a sequel with how it ended and I’m all for it. I give this movie a 9/10.
