The movie is a negligible work of manipulation, an exploitation piece doing its usual worst to guilt-trip parents.

A reasonably efficient mechanism, but it offers few surprises and finds its stars slumming in territory they should have avoided.

Brisk hack job.

Feels like the faceless product of a Hollywood screenwriting computer program, one that provide everything but personality and a brain.

Splashes its drama all over the screen, subjecting its audience and characters to action that feels not only manufactured, but also so false you can see the filmmakers' puppet strings.

A tightly drawn, propulsive thriller.

The title Trapped turns out to be a pretty fair description of how you feel while you're watching this ultra-manipulative thriller.

Indifferently implausible popcorn programmer of a movie.

There is no pleasure in watching a child suffer. Just embarrassment and a vague sense of shame.

Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

For a good chunk of its running time, Trapped is an effective and claustrophobic thriller.

True to its title, it traps audiences in a series of relentlessly nasty situations that we would pay a considerable ransom not to be looking at.

The manner in which this film flies completely off the rails is undoubtedly amusing, but its also disappointing, considering the fair competence of all that came before.

... so many directions with so much silliness that a surprise no longer surprises.

Nada poderia preparar o publico para o caos que toma conta da producao em seu ato final, que, aparentemente, foi escrito enquanto o roteirista encontrava-se bebado.

It comes off as so silly that you wouldn't be surprised if BA, Murdock and rest of the A-Team were seen giving chase in a black and red van.

I'm half-convinced it's a very poker-faced comedy. Then again, I may be giving the filmmakers way too much credit.

'Es en verdad una pena que Mandoki este realizando cintas tan malas desde hace algun tiempo, pues talento tiene, pero quien sabe donde lo tiene escondido.'

Scott Von Doviak Fort Worth Star-Telegram

A sleazy, exploitative thriller that milks its child-in-danger premise for all it's worth.

What started out as a taut contest of wills between Bacon and Theron, deteriorates into a protracted and borderline silly chase sequence.

Never engaging, utterly predictable and completely void of anything remotely interesting or suspenseful.

There are individual scenes that pack a real punch, but they are usually followed by something pretty heavy-handed or over-the-top.

Trapped presents a frightening and compelling 'What if?' scenario that will give most parents pause. . . . Then, something terrible happens.
