5.0 out of 5 stars One of a kind !, April 9, 2006

This review is from: The Trap in DVD [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this movie when I was about 10 years old, and I never forgot it... Ten years later, I decided to watch it again, wondering if I'd adore it as much. Well, I loved it ! And this movie stands among my favorites of all time, like the GODFATHER,... For me it is a real classic, so underrated and overlooked (unfortunately) in my view... It's a movie you never forget, and when it ends, I always find myself wanting more - God knows how many times I've watched it ! :-D
The story is great, and most important, the actors are just perfect ! Rita Tushingham's performance is just perfect, without a single word comin' out of her mouth ; Oliver Reed's performance is perfect too, AND combined, just watchin' these two actors is worth the price... I never get tired of them ; they manage to create such a powerful (and yet so simply shown) love story filled with adventures... For me, this movie is really a special and unique cinematic moment. All emotions are felt throughout this movie : especially in Oliver Reed's performance, his "realism" creates a good sense of humour, and I fall in love with his character as much as Eve (Tushingham)...
I couldn't say enough about this movie, it touches me everytime I see it... Beautiful landscapes and a thrilling scene with wolves, and a great soundtrack too ( I sometimes find myself singing Jean la B?te's theme song, which Oliver Reed sings in the movie too ;-) )
WHEN WILL IT COME OUT ON DVD ???? It's frustrating to see so many of Oliver Reed's worst film moments (in my view) on DVD, and still not have THE TRAP available on DVD... I hope there will be something done about this soon... ;-)

I saw this movie for the first time when I was about 12 yrs. old. I have been trying to find it for years. I can't say enough about the director amd the scenery was absolutely breath taking. I would loved to see this movie put on DVD. It made an impression, that can never be forgotten. I would love for my family to see this movie.
