Verdict: Josh Hartnett gives a committed and charming performance in this ridiculous and improbable thriller

Josh Hartnett plays a serial killer who has to evade capture at a pop concert in M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller.

Josh Hartnett is having something of a renaissance at the moment and he solidifies his comeback with a devilish turn in M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap.

In the Signs director’s new thriller, Hartnett stars as Cooper Adams, a family man who takes his daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue) to a Lady Raven (Saleka Shyamalan) concert in Philadelphia.

During a break in the show, Cooper discovers that the whole thing is a trap for a serial killer dubbed The Butcher – and he’s The Butcher! He needs to find a way to escape the building without his daughter finding out his true identity.

What. A. Concept. Only Shyamalan can come up with ideas this audacious, unique and attention-grabbing.

The issue is, more often than not, he doesn’t know where to go with his concepts and ends up running out of gas.

Trap is no different. The film excels in the concert environment – it depicts a realistic stage show and fan girl...
