'Trap' review: Not so killer filler from Shyamalan


By AGENCY

You kids have it easy these days, we used to have to bring our own lighters to concerts back in the day

In a manhunt thriller, you can pile up ridiculous coincidences and endless strokes of luck for ironic laughs, or you can play them straight. But after 45 minutes or so, you risk audience frustration either way.

Such is the case with M. Night Shyamalan’s wobbly family affair Trap, a movie about a devoted but psychopathic father taking his teenaged daughter to the concert of a lifetime. In the movie, the Taylor Swift-ian superstar on tour is played by writer-director-producer Shyamalan’s own daughter, Saleka Shyamalan, who wrote and sings much of her own material.
