Leave your thoughts about Trapped.
| VarietyTodd McCarthyA pretty skillfully handled domestic thriller about a criminal activity that, while always upsetting, is especially noxious now due to the too many recent tragic and highly publicized instances of it. |
| New York PostMegan LehmannA tightly drawn, propulsive thriller with some pleasingly unexpected kinks in the tale and a couple of believable performances from Charlize Theron and Kevin Bacon in the leads. |
| L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonMandoki's a pro, but a juiceless one, with only enough energy to reach the finish line, which becomes the viewer's goal as well. |
| New Times (L.A.)Gregory WeinkaufBy the time the high-octane ending arrived I didn't even care what happened to the kid. |
| Film ThreatRick KisonakThe first half of Luis (Angel Eyes) Mandoki's new thriller is as whiteknuckle, nerve-wracking as they come. The second is such a mishmash of overblown action and gaping plotholes, it's hard to believe it's the work of the same director. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsTrapped does have a fine ensemble of actors and, except for what may be the most outrageously idiotic and improbable ending in a few years, is not that bad a movie. |
| Chicago TribuneRobert K. ElderSplashes its drama all over the screen, subjecting its audience and characters to action that feels not only manufactured, but also so false you can see the filmmakers' puppet strings. |
| Village VoiceDennis LimLuis Mandoki's brisk hack job pushes no more buttons than Connie Chung Tonight -- though, for better or worse, it's perverse enough to stage the traumatic event as a spouse swap. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrBacon makes an appropriately detestable villain; unfortunately, he's the most interesting character here. As for Love, well, this puts her one career rung closer to ''Hollywood Squares.'' |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColeThere is no pleasure in watching a child suffer. Just embarrassment and a vague sense of shame. Watching Trapped simply makes us feel guilty. |
