  Trap is a thriller by the acclaimed director M. Night Shyamalan, famous for “The Sixth Sense” and “Split.” In Trap , a father and his daughter are stuck in a concert, revealed to be a set-up to uncover a serial killer.   The plot unfurls as the dad, Cooper, who we quickly find out is the killer, attempts to escape the concert while maintaining his façade with his daughter. Tensions are high as he creates more outrageous schemes to evade his captors. What follows is The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers of Trap . The Good Josh Hartnett does a fantastic job playing the vaguely off-putting revealed-to-be serial killer Cooper. He shows the side of Cooper, who loves his family, while demonstrating his quick-thinking and sociopathic tendencies. The movie was entertaining as there were constantly changing circumstances, and Cooper had to adjust his plans. It encouraged the audience to guess what would happen next as events unfolded. Viewers will enjoy the exciting events that unfold.
