La trampa

For all you haters out there, maybe you should re-watch it again!!!!!

A lot better than I expected, caught this one on Netflix this evening and it's a straightforward movie. WARNING: dogfights are a major part of this one, although it leaves most of the gore to the viewer's imagination. Not a movie for folks who don't like to hear dogs yelp/sound like they're in pain.

Three thieves (Brody, Culkin, Malkovich) hide out in an abandoned warehouse after a heist. But there's a killer dog on the loose. Reminiscent of Cujo only with really good sets. Had me on the edge of my seat. Intermingled were chunks of exposition on each of the thieves in flashbacks. Culkin was quite good.

A lot of camera work from the dog's point of view, which was a unique element. The first minute of the movie was the worst minute.

If you're sensitive to animal abuse, this film is not for you. If you like cookie cutter heist/action stories, this film is not for you. This felt more like a character study.of the.criminals involved. There are many flashbacks. Personally I liked the writing and pacing a lot. I'm not a fan of dog fighting or animal abuse, but I don't think the film is "glorifying" this behavior. The threat of.the dog as the "monster" felt thrilling and visceral, it had more impact than an armed person or supernatural entity would. Also, the way this film is shot is really cool, there a handful of individual moments that really stick out to me. It feels more like a artsy passion project than something made to make money so I can see why not everyone likes it. I recommend it.

I just watched this film on Netflix.I really liked it .There was alot of depth to the characters and also to the story.Very well acted a great cast.This is'nt your usual Hollywood routine formulaic shoot em up action heist flick ,its alot more mature than that.Definitely recommend.

This plot taking place in an abandoned warehouse after a heist, with he hoodlums trying ti fix their problems, is of course inspired by QT's RESERVOIR DOGS, but this time with really dogs in the story. It is not a true crime flick, but a "film de genre", as we say in France, it mixes up crime, of course, with some horror like suspense. Not bad, not too long, but everything is smashed by a silly ending that has nothing to do here. Everything is spoiled by this ending. With a VHS taping off, I would have stopped the recording just before...Such a shame. For the rest, I am also surprised to see how so many films were inspired by RESERVOIR DOGS.
