Trapped
When their daughter is abducted by experienced kidnappers, the Jennings turn the tables on their seemingly fool-proof plan.
Critics Sentiment
Marvin panics when Abby has an asthma attack at the cabin
Will lands the seaplane on the freeway causing massive pileup
The film crashes from effective psychological tension to laughably unrealistic action when the seaplane lands on the highway
Trapped starts as a promising psychological thriller with strong performances and genuine tension, earning praise for its tight setup and compelling cat-and-mouse dynamics. However, the film deteriorates significantly in its final act as the plot becomes increasingly convoluted and culminates in a widely mocked, physics-defying climax that destroys all credibility. Critics consistently noted that while the premise and early execution showed promise, the director's inability to handle action sequences and tendency toward Hollywood excess ultimately sabotaged what could have been a solid thriller.
