What if a serial killer was surrounded by police at a concert of a Taylor Swift-like music star? That is the promising premise to M. Night Shyamalan's latest movie Trap, but unfortunately one that the movie doesn't end up pulling off despite game efforts from its director and leading man, Josh Hartnett.
The story revolves around Cooper (Hartnett), who is taking his daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue) to the concert of her favorite pop singer, Lady Raven (Saleka Shyamalan). However, we quickly learn that Cooper is no ordinary, nerdy dad; rather he is a methodical serial killer, with his latest victim chained and hidden away somewhere, who Cooper monitors via his phone. One thing Cooper did not count on though is that the FBI received a tip he was going to be at the concert (though his exact identity is still unknown), surrounding the building and making it nearly impossible for him to get out. That's when Cooper gets to work.
