Viewers Find Plot Hole in M. Night Shyamalan's New Movie

Cinemagoers have expressed frustration over perceived “plot holes” in M Night Shyamalan’s latest film, *Trap*, which debuted in UK cinemas last week. The film centers on a serial killer, known as “The Butcher,” played by Josh Hartnett, who becomes embroiled in a police sting while attending a concert with his daughter. Notably, Shyamalan’s daughter, Saleka, stars as the pop idol Lady Raven, drawing attention to the film's unique familial connection. While *Trap* has received a mix of reviews, some viewers have praised its originality and humor, others have criticized its dialogue and narrative inconsistencies. A significant point of contention among audiences is the depiction of Lady Raven's concert, which is shown taking place during daylight hours, contradicting the typical scheduling of arena performances. Social media users have highlighted this inconsistency, with one viewer questioning the plausibility of a concert starting at 2 PM. Additionally, viewers have pointed out the lack of security surrounding Lady Raven after her performance, further fueling claims of logical discrepancies within the film. These critiques have sparked discussions about the film's overall coherence and execution, with many fans taking to platforms like X/Twitter to voice their concerns. In a recent interview, Hartnett revealed that his portrayal of the serial killer was influenced by observing “psychopaths” in the entertainment industry. He noted that many individuals in positions of power often exhibit a lack of empathy, drawing parallels between their behavior and that of his character in the film.
