'La Trampa' ('The Trap' in English) is an enjoyable but amateurish comedy/drama film from the Dominican Republic. This is because after a confusing introduction, the film is entertaining enough to want you to keep watching but you sort of wish it had better writing or more comic relief as it could have been way better then.

What it lacks in comedic moments it makes up for in dramatic ones. If you watch this film expecting a comedy then it is not hard to be disappointed with 'La Trampa' although there are some arguably funny moments. It works better as a drama in my opinion.

This was the first film I had watched which was made in the Dominican Republic so I am not disappointed at all. However, there is certainly room for improvement.
