Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The Jennings' fight for their daughters life after she is kidnapped by an experienced gang of thieves. Despite efforts from it's talented cast 'Trapped' follows the familiar 'same old, same old' storyline that all those 'kidnap' films have like one is soft, the other is a cold son of a b*tch and the first helps the victims take back their child and blah blah nothing interesting or even remotely good. (0/10)

One of the worst movies I've seen.A stupid story and the same typical things for a case of kidnapping.Just because Charlize Theron has a role here, the producers have tried to use her sex-appeal and she will be involved in some hot scenes, but more as a teasing because, well, somehow the kidnapper has a weak part.One of the most shocking aspects of this film is the presence of a lethargic father at the beginning, but as the events are progressing he is becoming even more capable than James Bond.And from this point you can imagine what will happen with the 'poor' kidnappers.

I thought this was an excellent thriller, Kevin Bacon was great in this creepy role,, Charlize Theron is hot in this movie to say the last, when she takes it almost all off. Dakota Fanning was just wonderful, she is the best child actress out there by far. I thought the plot line was great kidnappers bragging about how they always get away with it,, also Courtney Love was hot in this movie,, she should have had more lines or less clothes in this movie. The story get's off to a neat start with a previous kidnapping of a little boy. throughout the movie the intensity builds to a crecendo where you don't know what gonna quite just happen next,, i thought the whole movie played out well, the amazing crashes at the end on the I-5 Freeway was pretty neat,, I didn't care for the husban'ds character, Stuart Townsend, felt they just made the wrong choice in picking him, but hey this movie is suspenseful, and it rocks..

Average. The movie is full of clichés and most of all, the ending is totally unrealistic and overblown.Otherwise, if they had stuck to the basic plot, this could have been a nice little thriller, especially because on average, the acting was pretty good (especially Charlize Theron and Kevin Bacon). As usual, for some reason Hollywood producers (or Directors) feel it necessary to cram movies with tons of unnecessary subplots most of the time, as well as add minutes of ridiculous 'action scenes' which usually make the films look unreal and unbelievable to the audience. Do they really think the average moviegoer is a moron? In this case, the ending definitely ruined what could have been a good thriller...
