Critic Reviews

  • Robert Roten, Laramie Movie Scope

    An effective morality play. The plot has enough twists and turns in it to keep it interesting.

    It may have some extra padding, but its bone structure -- the basic story and the way it's laid out -- is impeccable.

  • Boyd van Hoeij, european-films.net

    Klopka (The Trap) starts off as a fascinating post-Milosevic film noir but ends up somewhere in the land of day-time soap circa 1985.
