Trap House Review: Dave Bautista's Gritty Crime Thriller Stumbles Despite Potential
- •Michael Dowse's 'Trap House,' starring Dave Bautista, premiered on Prime Video on December 31st.
- •The film aims for a gritty street-level action but is described as messy and less convincing, failing to blend family drama with crime thrills effectively.
- •Plot involves DEA agent Ray (Bautista) whose teenage son Cody and friends rob cartel trap houses, leading to violent consequences.
- •The movie maintains tension and action, but rushes the story, often skipping consequences and lacking deep exploration of themes.
- •Dave Bautista delivers a serious performance, but other characters are thinly sketched, making the film a missed opportunity despite its promise.
