John Chard on Trapped

2/10 · Jun 28, 2014

This film, Trapped, comes from director Luis Mandoki and a screenplay by Greg Iles. It features Charlize Theron, Kevin Bacon, Courtney Love, Stuart Townsend, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Dakota Fanning, with music composed by John Ottman and cinematography by Frederick Elmes. Adapted from Iles’ novel 24 Hours, the movie seems to want to be a gripping thriller centered on a young girl's abduction, aiming for suspenseful excitement; however, it falls short due to its flawed construction and questionable choices. A talented group of actors appear in the film, but none manage to stand out while struggling with the unoriginal and nonsensical story. The movie’s atmosphere is decent enough, possessing a dark and dirty quality, yet Mandoki repeatedly undermines any potential moments with clumsy plot developments. This only amplifies the absurdity when you consider the central storyline involves a simplistic drug scheme, making the attempts at creating a complex thriller even more ridiculous. The ending is particularly absurd. It earns a 2/10 rating, with young Fanning being the sole performer who deserves recognition for their work.
