It was a “Trap” for the audience. He trapped us into seeing one of his daughters’s terrible concert and performance. She was the worst and the entire movie was too long and too boring. I am glad I snuck in to see it for free!! And I still want my my money back!! 😂😂😂😂

Let me fix this movie: • Hartnett takes his daughter to the concert for appearances (you know). • Little does he know that someone he abducted long ago, who managed to escape, spots him at the concert. She remembers him! It’s got to be him!! She calls the FBI agent in charge of the case, and a bunch of law enforcement officers head to the arena to trap him. It will be one of the costliest miscalculations in law enforcement history. • Hartnett’s serial killer instincts start warning him. It triggers his cold killer mode, turning him into a figure like Agent 47, aka Hitman. During the concert, while Lady Raven is entertaining his daughter, Hartnett uses his stealth serial killer abilities to brutally but quietly kill anyone he needs to in order to escape. Nobody notices him because he’s like Agent 47, and he disposes of bodies effortlessly. It’s bloody and brutal. He quietly slays civilians and cops, not giving a damn. The horrific events in the arena will forever be know as “Bloodbath at the Lady Raven Concert.” The evening’s chaotic and fiery end will claim the lives of countless of people-and that’s just from the stampede. • Fast forward to the final act of the movie, where Hartnett is eventually cornered by the FBI agent in charge. But, dun, dun, dun, his daughter’s a killer too! Like father, like daughter. They escape into the night to kill again another day. • The last scene: they are having pizza with the obnoxious mom and her bratty daughters. Hartnett and his daughter give each other sly looks. Yep, they’re going to kill them later! The end. Credits. Awesome movie.

Saleka is a decent singer but a God Awful actress. But if she had a different director & a better script she might even be a decent actress.

Twenty years ago, Sham-all-along fooled his fanbase by suggesting The Village was a monster movie, when the twist was that there wasn't even a monster in it, a decidedly anti-customer satisfaction thing to do. Now, his fans expecting a serial killer thriller will get a twist that it's actually a nepo concert film to promote his brat's music, as if Rebecca Black"s "Friday" music video (paid for by her father, look it up) got a 105 minute long-form treatment. Trap is literally a Saw torture porn trap designed to punish his remaining fans. It's as egregious a filmmaking ruse as Zack's Rebel Moon director's cut bullshit.

Disagree the flat, lifeless dialogue emerged in later movies. Not as prominent in the Sixth Sense (yes, it’s there), but I noticed it in Unbreakable when it came out. I kept thinking “Why are they talking like that?” It was weird and a big reason I didn’t like it as much. Signs? Yes. (Example: the daughter waking up her dad, asking for water and informing him there’s a monster) The Village is the only movie where it fits. The characters use the archaic language the elders likely adopted when they established the settlement. It’s different, too, but at least it makes sense.

If M. Night Shamalan wants to continue his career in the entertainment industry. He should just transition as a producer. He produced some tv shows I've really enjoyed like "Wayward Pines" that aired on Fox. and "Servant" that's on Apple TV+. He directs an episode or two for those shows, but he's working off of much more creative and talented people who created and wrote them.

we know why he put his daughter as one of the main characters in this movie because he thought this will help her music career and guess what nobody feels the music in this movie was great at all just a rip off from other artists like Taylor swift. Saleka music in this film don't work she don't have her own style when it comes to her music and this will hurt her more than help her image on her being a actor or boosting her music career. nobody is highlighting her as great in this film or the music. but this is why people like M. Night Shyamalan and Tyler Perry should never have full control on making their movies because they mindset don't carry over well doing their films they need to have other writer's telling them this isn't going to work and don't make sense and if this movie fails what's the mindset to go into we are haters or racist smh DISNEY fav words to us lol

His wife thought he was cheating then thought he was a serial killer?? And she dropped a dime to the cops but didn't describe the killer? So they had to stop EVERYONE?? All men over 25? She could have described him a little bit more instead of having all these men's rights be violated by the cops? Nobody looked at any cameras. They devoted 7k cops to trap him but then put him in the paddy wagon by himself. Instead of telling the pop star to leave the scene, a cop would instead say he'd drive her away as opposed to staying and letting the Limo driver who was there drive her away? So the Limo driver stayed during the home siege instead?? lol. and where was the limo driver? He didn't recognize Josh wearing a helmet? Hey we're fighting the serial killer! Send in the lady as old as Nancy Pelosi to take him down! Even crazier , they watched Josh come back to the house and let him be with the wife, and risked her life! The pop star risked her life for a total stranger who could have killed her in the bathroom but at least that one guy is saved. and she said call the police and the swat team showed up. No reason for them to think the issue was the serial killer. But the seat team showed up.
