Trapped (2017)

To let it go or not to let it go?... that is the question. That's not about "Trapped", which is just another movie recycled from what I managed to see earlier this year, but about the blog... But since I'm struggling with one more entry it's probably "not to let it go" yet...

So "Trapped"... I think it's the only Indian movie that I had the patience to watch in the last 10 years. Without having any surprise of (spoiler alert!) somebody starting to dance between two scenes. So for who's allergic to musicals, and even more to the Bollywood version, don't worry, you're safe. The story: we have love at first sight between a guy and a girl working in the same company, with the problem that him seems struggling with the money and her having an already arranged marriage (well... we have some sort of typical Indian setup). In any case, he manages somehow to convince her having second thoughts about the marriage by trying to find a new home for them. Which home, given the budget, is a rent on the black market on the top of a barely finished tower of flats, completely empty, that was not given into use. Just that he doesn't get to tell here anymore... Because after the first visit for arranging the new place he somehow manages to get stuck in the apartment. No neighbors. No phone battery. No electricity. No water. No food. Up in the sky. With just a sort of building guard, half deaf and completely absent sleeping all day at the ground floor. There you have it... The perfect setup for a catchy movie. Unfortunately the result, although not bad, was a bit below what I expected. Well, that's all about it, until next time...
