The Trap

There's this one scene where the characters are out of sync with the audio. First I thought they were doing it to represent that they were high but it wasn't. I thought TIP was a perfectionist but I don't think he was there in the editing room

Wow, this movie if i can call it a movie, is so bad, it made me make a review, first ever. Just added on Netflix, seen 5 mins and gave up. I like Mike Epps, he is a funny guy, he plays great, but this is some D class video, cant be called a movie. I guess the budget was low, as low as the people density in this video, which seems filmed in a forgotten town ... Anyway, very bad movie, dont worth watching.

I was so surprised this movie was so bad because Queen Latifa and T.I are in the movie and are really good actors. The movie looks really low budget and just isn't funny. They tried to make a good movie but nothing came together right

People who enjoyed movies like How High or half baked, will also like this movie. It has some Funny dialogue by yours truly Mike Epps. Dont ecpect much but if your looking for a movie such as the ones mentioned then give it a shot.

The Trap is a blaxsploitation film in the vein of Friday, The Wash, Pootie Tang, etc. -- so expect the imdb score to be low due to all the hate voting.

Truth is, if you're looking for a black-casted comedy, The Trap is pretty standard Mike Epps fare. It's got plenty of laughs and the usual racially-charged comedy (and the usual weed jokes throughout). But The Trap also has a lot of spirit, and TI does a great job as the head of the fried chicken joint. There's a sense of comraderie in The Trap that isn't in other Epps comedies.

Everything is stereotypical here (as are all Mike Epps films), and that's part of what make Epps films tick the way that they do. Don't go into this expecting some form of highbrow and erudite humor, and you won't be disappointed. Go into this expecting a decent popcorn flick that'll harkon you back to the Next Friday days, and you'll be more than content.

A solid 6/10 when comparing it to other blaxploitation genre greats--definitely worth a watch for likeminded individuals.
