- 70VarietyTodd McCarthyVarietyTodd McCarthyA pretty skillfully handled domestic thriller about a criminal activity that, while always upsetting, is especially noxious now due to the too many recent tragic and highly publicized instances of it.
- 50New York Daily NewsJack MathewsNew York Daily NewsJack MathewsTrapped does have a fine ensemble of actors and, except for what may be the most outrageously idiotic and improbable ending in a few years, is not that bad a movie.
- 50The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenPointless little kidnapping thriller.
- 50Village VoiceDennis LimVillage VoiceDennis LimLuis Mandoki's brisk hack job pushes no more buttons than Connie Chung Tonight -- though, for better or worse, it's perverse enough to stage the traumatic event as a spouse swap.
- 50Film ThreatRick KisonakFilm ThreatRick KisonakThe first half of Luis (Angel Eyes) Mandoki's new thriller is as whiteknuckle, nerve-wracking as they come. The second is such a mishmash of overblown action and gaping plotholes, it's hard to believe it's the work of the same director.
- 50New Times (L.A.)Gregory WeinkaufNew Times (L.A.)Gregory WeinkaufAnother disposable kidnapping thriller.
- 42Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe most frightening sight, though, is that of Theron and Bacon, good actors trapped in the muck of making a living.
- 38The Globe and Mail (Toronto)The Globe and Mail (Toronto)There is no pleasure in watching a child suffer. Just embarrassment and a vague sense of shame. Watching Trapped simply makes us feel guilty.
- 30Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLos Angeles TimesKenneth TuranNot the kind of unwatchable mess you might assume a film withheld from reviewers' scrutiny would be. It is, however, something equally unfortunate: a mess you'd rather not be watching.
- 20The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe A.V. ClubNathan RabinA tone of lurid idiocy permeates Trapped, a Z-grade woman-in-peril thriller starring scenery-chewing Kevin Bacon.
