Storyline

"THE TRAP" is a modern film noir reflecting the true face of Serbian (Eastern European) 'society in transition.' It's a story that could happen to you. It is a film about an ordinary man, who is forced to choose between life and death of his own child. THE TRAP is a film about post-Milosevic Serbia, in which there is no more war, but there is moral and existential desert, about Serbia in transition, in which human life still isn't worth a lot, about normal life which still seems unreachable.

User Reviews

Simply a masterpiece

If you are looking for a date movie then it is not a good choice but if you are looking something with a serious, really appealing with true to life events and a strong grip on audience throughout the movie, then simply go for it. I promise it is a collection grade movie worth to be watched twice. The story, acting, direction and movement of the movie was superb. Cinematography and the expression of human behavior was so realistic that you can not leave your seat even if you have a strong desire to go to rest room. Therefore I would say it was overall a masterpiece and needs to be placed in your personal collection shelf. Give it a try you will not be disappointed.
