Trap House

In Trap House, an undercover DEA agent comes home to a shocking discovery: the robberies he and his partner have been hunting are being carried out by teenagers in their own families. Those kids borrow surveillance tricks, tradecraft and top-secret intel from their parents to target a violent cartel, turning a criminal investigation into a family crisis. As the parents try to protect the public and their children, alliances fray and operations grow more dangerous. The film keeps the tension tight with stakeouts, confrontations and the moral cost of a life split between work and home, and stakes rise urgently.

Released in 2025 and directed by Michael Dowse, Trap House was created by Gary Scott Thompson and Tom O'Connor. The cast includes Dave Bautista, Jack Champion, Sophia Lillis, Whitney Peak and Bobby Cannavale, blending action experience with younger breakout talent.

Critical response was mixed, reflected in a 6.3/10 average from 125 votes, with praise for the physical performances but notes about uneven plotting, and some praised the chemistry. Themes focus on parental responsibility, the thin line between enforcement and vigilantism, and how work secrets damage family trust under cartel pressure.

Trap House prompted conversations about modern policing and parenting, particularly online. Viewers reacted to the idea of kids using their parents' tradecraft, and Bautista's role as a conflicted father drew attention to the film's blend of family drama and heist action. It inspired fan edits and online debates across platforms.

Box office was modest and uneven across markets, with genre fans supporting theatrical runs and many viewers catching it on streaming later. Exact worldwide grosses were not widely publicized. The studio leaned on streaming to reach wider audiences after release.
