Trapped.
 

From the back of the DVD case.....
I saw this movie for the first time tonight.
I was pleasantly suprised to find that appart from the obvious bonus of featuring Meat, it was a very good thriller.
I am happy to tell you that unlike most movies, Meat does have a good size part to play :D .
Unlike many films that claim to do so, this film really has you on the end of you're seat.In many films you can tell who's going to live and who's going to die in the first five minutes.This movie does have a few suprises up it's sleeve.
I did find the ending a bit weak but overall this is a movie to see.

Does Meat die yet again?You'll have watch it and see :wink:

I know the answer to that one.

I saw it. Have it on DVD.

I agree, MOUSE, good movie. Liked meat's part in it.

Asha

whats the movie called

opps reading it again i think i know is it trapped

:twisted: Yep.

i should heve guessed lol

I keep hearing good things about this film, going to have to hunt down a copy.

Trapped- ahh, never heard of it, is it a meat film then? il ave to try and get a copy, any ideas where fomr? is it recent?

:twisted: Hi shadows.
The copyright on the DVD case says 2002.
I believe there is a copy for sale on e bay at the moment.
Even though there is a picture of Meat's face on the cover and his name at the top,I wasn't holding out for much of an appearance :( .Most movies I have seen him in he's only been on screen for a minute or two.I was very pleasantly suprised :lol: .

You can get region 2 DVDs of Trapped at amazon for £7.99. Don't think they have any videos of it.

It is a very good movie!!! And indeed, i also know the end...

Me too, have it on DVD....I liked meats role a lot.
The part where he gets angry, ohh YES!! great part.

Asha

dvd
 

I have the dvd!!!!
Gonna watch it tomorrow. V excited.

There is a movie by this name on HBO tomorrow, but there is no mention of Meat in the summary in the TV guide. This one is from 2002 and stars Charlize Theron and Courtney Love. Am I right that it is a completely different movie? I couldn't stand to watch Courtney Love unless there was some chance of seeing Meat! 8)

Cool, I finally got to see "Trapped" tonight, after taping it off of USA Network about a week ago. What a good thriller- lots of action, Meat plays a nice and terribly heroic guy. Highly recommended!

Sherrie

Glad you liked it Sherrie. I thought it was a good movie

Yes .... it's a great movie. And I loved Meat's role in it too !!
Vicki

I havn't seen it, but I would love too!!!!!!!! Not just cos of Meat, but you know the guy who plays Anthony? Callum Keith Rennie??! He was born in the same place I was!!!!!!!!!! Believe it or not! His family moved to Canada when he was 4, so that's how he doesn't have the North East England accent:) I was so thrilled when I saw where he originally came from:) I can add a second person who is famous to the "born in Sunderland list", besides Dave Stewart once of the Eurhythmics:))))))))) I saw a clip on the net of when Meat and CKR are arguing over who started the fire:) Want to see more!!!! May have to get for Christmas:))))

Thanks Mouse not only is Meat in it but it also sounds like a fantastic film too. :D

I will have 2 look in our local pound shop when I go shopping again, doubt they will have it though, I never drop on bargains

I just watched Trapped yesterday, with hot tea and a quilt (I've got flu and I was freezing and all the flames in the movie were warming :)
But seriously I really liked the movie, and Meat was great in it! At the beginning of Chapter 2 where he's talking to Marissa, and looking at her with obvious interest :oops: and yet with kindness and respect - I think he really nailed that. Just perfect.
-Kathy

I'm sorry to hear about your flu Kathy :( I hope you feel better soon.
I loved it too .. and you're right about Meat. He was absolutely perfect :))

Vicki

Kathy said: So very true Kathy- based on that scene I was so hoping for some sort of romantic angle. I guess with the fire and everything there just wasn't time for that aspect of it! :lol: Someday, if we are all very good and eat our vegtables, I hope we will be rewarded with a Meat Loaf romantic comedy. That would absolutely be the best. :P Kathy- good luck with the horrid flu- my son and I had it about a month ago and it really was nasty. All that I found helped was lots of sleep, but I guess with that flu you don't have much choice but to sleep a lot. Yuk- I hope you are feeling better soon!

Sherrie

Thanks Vicki and Sherrie for the good wishes. Yesterday I had NO VOICE whatsoever but today I can make unintelligible noises! - so I am getting better. (an interesting side discovery - my cat can understand me when I whisper - I wouldn't have guessed that).

But about the movie - did you think there may have been a Jim/Marissa scene cut out, toward the end of the movie, when they were all trapped in that little room? All of a sudden Marissa is standing up against Jim with her hand on his chest and I didn't see how she got there.

I know what you mean about the ending, Sherrie. The true hero was totally unsung. But it was very romantic, in a tear-jerker sort of way. Maybe they'll make a sequel, where it turns out Jim fell through into the Olympic sized swimming pool on the 31st floor, then catches the bad guy and marries Marissa :lol:

You're welcome .. I'm glad to hear you're getting better.
Yeah .. now that you mention it ... one of the scenes may have been cut. But I love your idea for a sequel :lol:

Vicki

I just watched Trapped - I found it really predictable, but watchable. I thought Meat Loaf was excellent in it. He really is a fine actor, and not that I'm biased but I really thought he was the best in the film. was a bit shocking with his exit tho - it's like blink and you'll miss it......

Totally agree, i thought if meat had to go out it should have been with a bit more drama, after all he was really the hero!

There is nothing to add.
I just watched it the first time and was "prepared" to his death. And yes I think this is a good movie. By the way: thanks to this forum and starting watching films in the original version (to hear my Masters original voice :wink: ) my english is improving from day to day (Even ifI still struggle with the f*****g grammar sometimes!)

Yesterday I "forced" my boyfriend (I'm always not sure, if this is the right expression: we are a couple for four years now, but not married. "boyfriend" sounds to me like being a teenager) to watch "Trapped" with me.

When Meat (or better Michael Lee Aday) dies near the end he started singing: "...and into the fire, fire, fire" and said "this would make a perfect soundtrack and it will be the first time when an actor sings his own soundtrack"

I'm not a cruel person, but I nearly slapped him in his face :twisted:

Sorry for saying that but your boyfriend doesn't go very often to the movies... :roll:

For example: in "Virtuosity" (directed by the uninspired Brett Leonard) Russell Crowe plays a virtual serial killer... and you can hear one of Mister Crowe's songs when he gets out of a car! Yes, Mister Crowe sings as well... sort of... :roll:

completely off topic! :?

:twisted: And back in 1987 Meat appeared in a film called The Squeeze with Michael Keaton.During a scene in a night club they play Blind Before I Stop 8) .
It's well worth a look if you can get a copy.Meat is in quite a few scenes.
But that's a whole different topic :wink:

how does meaty boy die?

:twisted: You really want us to spoil the suprise? :wink:

Yeah! *pouts and gives puppy dog eyes*

Its a "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" death. Really bad way to exit Meats character IMO. Good performance by Meat, however.

The only thing good is the acting and the story line (even though it's a bit of a rip off)

If they changed the script, changed the director, gave it a bigger budget to work on, I think it would be great!!

There's some good acting in it and it is kinda "on the edge of you seat" kinda film, but I hate the way Meat dies!!!

Come on they could of milked it a bit, atleast!!! :roll:

This tv movie is awful! :?

Meat's performance is pretty good (except for the useless and always tempting don't-make-the-same-mistakes-I-did scene!!!).

Meat had much better roles than this one.
Hope they had fun while shooting it. But I doubt. Shooting a movie is always a painful experience. :roll:
