In M. Night Shyamalan's thriller Trap, the central character Cooper—portrayed brilliantly by Josh Hartnett—functions simultaneously as the protagonist and the primary antagonist of the story. Cooper is a loving, charismatic suburban father on the surface, but beneath his charming exterior lies a calculating, sadistic serial killer known to law enforcement as "The Butcher." The unique narrative structure of the film forces the audience to view the intense cat-and-mouse game from the perspective of the killer himself as he tries to outsmart the FBI sting operation while attending a pop concert with his teenage daughter.
