Trapped

This movie Is bad. In the movie they never explained why the killer was killing. I mean, granted he was a psycho but even psychos need reasons, rational or not. and i think that they had john doe and her boss act too creepy. I never trusted their motives. Throughout the movie i am trying to figure out the plot, I was reading too much into it. This movie is way shallow but it has potential if they ever re-did it. it seems like the editors, in haste, cut the plot to fit the time slot. but it is very edgy. i think someone should re-do it.

I hate this movie. It is a blatant attempt to rip off "Die Hard", and fails miserably. Some guy is in a building killing everyone. We don't know anything about him, we don't know his motivation, he just apparently wants to kill people. So we have a woman trapped in a building with a killer and MONKEYS. And all this has to fill a couple of hours. The plot has serious credibility problems, and the ending is stupid and pointless. Avoid this movie unless you have seen all the other movies about people trapped in a building. Even Anna Nicole Smith's "Skyscraper" is better.

This is a great movie! I wish they would put it on DVD!

First, Let me clear up a misconception left by a previous reviewer:

THIS MOVIE IS NOT 'DIE HARD' AND DOES NOT TRY TO BE!

That being said, Its remarkably similar to 'The Face of Fear', Except for in the beginning, she's alone. Trapped carries suspense very well. The acting, while not the best, does well to put you in the movie. Its very easy to see yourself, almost alone, running though a labyrinth of corridors and doors trying to find a way out. One of the things that 'Trapped' does better then 'The face of Fear' is use dead-quiet scenes to convey the vast and oppressive building itself. Indeed, the building seems to have a character of its own, aiding the madman on his rampage.

The madman, whom its almost possible to sympathize with, says little thought the film, adding to the creepiness. Not quite my best suspense film of all time, but quite good. The male hero is almost an anti-hero when we learn that he's in the building doing espionage.

All in all, a well done movie that deserves recognition.

I liked the cover art and that seemed cool.

First I watched this on vhs in 2025 .

I have no idea how hard it would be to do otherwise never seen it even on dvd.

The plot is quite 80s and benign does not matter.

The premise is where this shines without spoiling it think Dawn of Dead "the mall" Diehard big "high rise".

There's a psycho that much is on the cover.

The acting is pretty good for maybe a cable movie which I think this is.

So down to the brass tacks, the good I found it new and suspenseful.

This is not your average thriller or slasher.

The bad it can be slow as hiding is a common them.
