Trap movie review & film summary (2024) | Roger Ebert
Aug 1, 2024 · Their plan to stop every man who leaves the building and basically put them in front of ace profiler Dr. Grant (a woefully miscast Hayley Mills, likely here just because she’s famous for a different “Trap” movie and Night thought that was funny) to determine guilt makes absolutely no sense.Still, people buy a ticket for a movie like “Trap” knowing the premise, and Shyamalan’s …
Dune: Part Two movie review & film summary (2024) | Roger Ebert

Oct 3, 2024 · What set me off was the film’s climax, in which Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck, now gone almost full Joker, appears on a late-night talk show hosted by glib showman Murray Franklin (Robert De Niro).
