Yawn! A Real Snoozer
I love most of the older films that I've seen but this one is a real snoozer. I found Murder by Television (1935) a bit more interesting (mainly for Bela Lugosi's performance in all honesty).
I realize that in the 1930s television was a fairly brand new invention and they were kinda promoting it through motion pictures on the silver screen but the both films (Murder and Trapped) are not all that grand to me. Don't get me wrong, the film is not awful but it's not a great film. I really find it mediocre at best.
The actors in the film are good but it's just a typical semi-comical or "cutesy" gangster flick of the 1930s - really nothing to make this film stand out other than the idea of a television which was done a year earlier with Lugosi in Murder by Television.
3/10
