Review of Trapped

Trapped (XVII) (2016)
7/10
2 major flaws in direction: The fire and the leather belt.
3 April 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Otherwise a very well directed survival movie, with very limited characters but i found it very dumb for a trapped person to have the easy access to create fire and yet he burns his clothes and mattress instead of the wooden door. He could have easily burnt a small portion of the door and then break his way out rather than cutting the steel grill. WOOD vs STEEL ??

And secondly, i feel all of the leather belts that we men wear have their buckle end riveted with either one or maximum 2 rivets. If you see the shot where he tries to use his own belt while dangling on the 31st floor grill, and then loops the belt around the bottom last rod of the grill, HE PASSES THE BELT ONLY THROUGH THE BUCKLE LOOP & DOES'NT TIE A KNOT !! Which means the weight of his whole body for those few seconds when he dangles to keep his feet steady on the grill of the 30th floor, is held up BY JUST ONE SINGLE RIVET !! Any belt would have given away at that particular point unless you tie knot around the rod.

But overall a must watch and well directed movie and some great acting skills by Rajkumar Rao.
