Sorry, this movie sucks

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Wow! Trapped is totally riveting and amazing from the opening episode to the conclusion! Despite being in Icelandic with subtitles, the story carries amazingly well because of the clever storytelling and acting. All of the characters are fascinating, and the many intersecting storylines and plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat during every episode. The cinematography is not only beautiful but conveys even the smallest plot details. Standing ovation to everyone involved with this production. Can't wait for the second season, and please bring more Icelandic productions to world audiences.

Having seen multiple shows like Fargo, Stranger Things, Dark, with all of them being set in small towns where everybody knows everybody, I got interested in watching Trapped. The story, production, locations and the element of mystery just sweeps you away! Has to be one of the most non hyped tv shows in the past couple of years, more and more people should check it out.

Ófærð is the latest hit series from controversial Icelandic film production company RVK Studios. Created by the secretive and little known director Baltasar Kormákur, it weaves a story of lust, love, hate, murder, and lies in the remote town of Seyðisfjörður (population 665).Nestled at the innermost point of a local fjord, Seyðisfjörður has a robust economy founded on the traditional Icelandic industries of fishing and bankruptcy. Like all Nordic peoples, Icelanders are nudists, although this does not feature strongly in the narrative.If you're familiar with Nordic noir you'll have a good idea of what to expect, except this time it's in Icelandic, Danish, and English.Icelandic is one of those rare and weird languages that don't sound like the way they're translated. The Germans have described it as the most lyrical of the Nordic languages, while the Danes are fond of saying that it resembles the noise you'd get if a Swede strangled a Norwegian with the entrails of a Finn. Personally I think Icelandic sounds like someone gargling with a spork.The series has English subtitles, and although my Icelandic is a bit rusty, I can tell they are reasonably accurate.As the story unfolds, it quickly becomes apparent that the cast consists of pretty much the entire Icelandic population, so the recaps at the start of each episode are essential for keeping track of what's happening.The characters are well developed, and their simple names are easily pronounced. Rögnvaldur, Lanhelgisgæslukona, Lanhelgisgæslumaður, and Rannsóknarlögregla will doubtless become household favourites.If you're a fan of Kristinn Kristjánsson and Baldur T. Hreinsson, you'll be delighted to see they've secured strong roles in this passionate murder-mystery drama. Also keep an eye out for Ólafur Björn Gunnarsson, Þorgeir Guðmundsson, Sigurður Skúlason, Erling Jóhannesson, Óli Jón Gunnarsson, Ólafía Hrönn Jónsdóttir, Rán Ísold Eysteinsdóttir, Elva María Birgisdóttir, Katla M. Þorgeirsdóttir, and Lilja Nótt Þórarinsdóttir.I rate Ófærð at 29.97 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a stunning 9/10 on IMDb.

Ever since I watched and thoroughly enjoyed the Danish crime drama series 'The Killing', I've been on the lookout for other similar foreign crime shows as they often prove to be lesser known gems. 'Trapped', set in Iceland, is another gripping TV series that has you hooked from the first episode, and remains highly engaging until the last.It has an intelligent and well-structured plot, with no obvious plot holes to speak of. It's always satisfying when a plot is believable and relatively easy to follow, without trying to be too smart. 'Trapped' has a simple but effective plot, which is generally what the audience want from a series like this.'Trappped' also has some unique characteristics, such as the setting, which adds nicely to the atmosphere and tension in the film. This is a well-written, intelligent show that I would recommend to anybody who enjoys a mystery.
