Trap (2024)

Here is an example of the premise of a movie out-performing the actual execution. Josh Hartnett stars as a father who takes his daughter to a pop concert while the police are surrounding the venue and setting up a "trap" to capture a serial killer. The initial twist of this movie was ruined in all the trailers, but do yourself a favor and go into it as blind as possible. If you're not a fan of M. Night Shyamalan, this probably won't convert you, but it's fun in that batshit "trainwreck" sort of way where you can't look away. The first half of this movie is much more successful than the back half, but it's still clever enough to recommend.
