Honeytrap

Read the good reviews but found the film stylistically confusing.sometimes a true life TV discovery channel reconstruction ,sometimes a TV melodrama with way too much use of music ,and on occasions a drama documentary with the camera and sound just hanging around. Lead actress held it all together with a spectacularly varied and deep

range of facial expressive work. Hated to be disappointed . Needed a more cultural base to give it heart in a community. And more cinematic approach ..too much use of music to emphasise emotionally what we should see within the shots and structure...and too many Dream sequences from the lead character which are an easy way out to character development...needed to come from within the character and/or mis en scene.

This movie is predictable and plays on typical stereotypes. The storyline is badly constructed and lacks any creativity. Though I accept the events were inspired by true events, the writer/director struggles to piece to together a coercive plot.

I expect the movie was created on a low budget and that is the only positive I can take!

I thought this was a surprising, solid movie. Overall, however, definitely something you should skip if you don't have much time. The lead (Jessica Sula) did a great job. I would say the rating on this one is definitely a little low. It was a very realistic and upsetting story.

Also, for a movie from 2014, I would say this has a really diverse cast, which I thought was nice. I didn't let that affect my rating, though.

I would say the use of music was rather heavy-handed. I saw another review here that said the same thing, and I definitely agree, which is what made me knock it down from a potential 7 to, unfortunately, a 6.

Starts kind of slow but this is a really good movie.

The main character is young, nice and naive, she falls in love with an INSANELY attractive bad boy.

Dark, twisted and dramatic... I think women will relate to this movie more then men.

Quality of this film is not very high, the acting is not great at all. Compared to other British films this is shocking. Top it all off the ending was awful.
