Storyline

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.

5/10

Incredibly mediocre

Starts off well, but then it becomes increasingly dull and boring. The dialogue between the father and the daughter is unrealistic almost cringe worthy, the acting is mediocre for majority of the movie (it did seem to get better towards the end). Expected so much more from M Night. I would avoid this one :(. The main character barely has a backstory, the movie would have been so much better if they had explored that aspect of the story a little more. There was one decent twist, but other than that, it was just very dull. You would be better off watching this when it becomes available on streaming platforms.
