M. Night Shyamalan's latest thriller has sparked controversy among critics and fans alike, but the premise is enough to catch anyone's eye. With a tagline like that, it's no wonder that “Trap's” has already been number one since Max ranked it this week. Josh Hartnett plays the man of the hour, whose family doesn't even know about his murderous double life. But when he takes his teenage daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue) to a concert, he finds it occupied by the police in an elaborate sting operation. With its delightfully over-the-top performances, wild twists and turns, and surreal, campy narrative, “Trap” is, if nothing else, an enjoyable and utterly unique film to watch.
