Trivia
M. Night Shyamalan declared in an interview that the plot was inspired by the Washington D.C. "Operation Flagship" sting operation on December 15, 1985, which was organized by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Metropolitan Police to lure wanted fugitives to the Washington Convention Center under the pretense of free tickets. It resulted in 101 arrests, one of the largest and most successful mass arrests of fugitives by U.S. law enforcement.

No one could remove a bicycle spoke without a wire cutter or a wrench. They cannot just be dislodged with bare hands.

Quotes
Cooper: Psst! Cooper.
Jamie: Jamie.
Cooper: What's with all the police trucks outside and the cameras everywhere, Jamie?
Jamie: I'm not supposed to tell.
Cooper: Something happening?
Jamie: Don't rat me out.
Cooper: I won't.
Jamie: You know the Butcher? That freakin' nutjob that goes around just chopping people up? Well, the feds or whatever heard that he's gonna be here today, so they set up a trap for him. This whole concert? It's a trap. They're watching all the exits, checking everyone that leaves. There's no way to get out of here. It's kinda dope, right?

Crazy credits
There is a short scene, early in the closing credits.

Miss good old M.Night Shyamalan

I feel like the idea of directing a concert and a plot inside a concert took over everything else. It starts off quite well and all props to Josh Hartnett but at the end of it all, it's nothing that stands out, nothing at all. The charm, creativity and the out of the box cocncepts and even the eerie settings of his movies are all but missing in this movie.

If you're a fan of his old work like the Signs, Village, Unbreakable, Sixth Sense or even The Visit and The Happening and are fond of his art then TRAP is a complete pivot from his work.

It was also kind of annoying at how they made the cops and the FBI look and think like 4th graders trying to catch a criminal.

Missed opportunity, for us!
