This movie has a lot of similarities to the movie Commando. The line "I'll be back." is even in this movie. The fight sequences are pretty good, and John Gold is a decent stone-faced character. The plot is predictable and moves along well.
As you watch the movie, it is easy to detect the wrestling moves in some of the fights. This is most likely due to the WWE background for some of the actors. The women are nice to look at and I liked the British accents. I think that made it fun and much better than the fake Russian accents in too many action movies that are made these days.
If you like action movies, this would be worth checking out.

I enjoy watching old movies. I find it fun to see actors in their early days.
This film has several actors you will recognize from other roles that they played later in their careers. Most notably is Lloyd Bridges, who a lot of people will know from his days in the TV Series SEA HUNT and the silly AIRPLANE movies. John Hoyt is another recognizable actor who starred in many episodes of popular television series and an exceptionally long list of Hollywood movies.
TRAPPED is a story about the efforts of the Secret Service to stop a major counterfeiting organization. The story is well told and even provides a little insight as to what is involved in printing money. In short, this is an enjoyable old-time crime movie.

At times, this movie seems like watching The Terminator. The storyline is similar, but there are a few twists.
Sam Worthington portrays Lucas who is a professional assassin. Lucas is also supposed to be a junkie. It is never quite clear what drug Lucas is supposed to be addicted to. I am not an expert on junkies, but I don't think the portrayal of Lucas as a junkie is very convincing. The portrayal of Lucas as an assassin is very convincing and this is what makes the movie worth watching.
Odeya Rush stars as Ella and offers a satisfactory performance as a vulnerable schoolgirl being chased by bad guys. The remainder of the cast do good jobs in their roles to support the movie's plot.
In short, if you would like to watch a movie similar to The Terminator, without the robots and special effects, then this would be a viable choice.
