Starts kind of slow but this is a really good movie.The main character is young, nice and naive, she falls in love with an INSANELY attractive bad boy.Dark, twisted and dramatic... I think women will relate to this movie more then men.

I was recommended this film a lot by my friends and family. And I finally had some spare time so I watched it and it was a excellent film. Honeytrap is about a teenage girl named Layla that is finally reunited with her mother in London and she is forced to fit in this new society. Her mother is constantly barking orders at her and shows no support for her daughter. Layla finds her way into the music industry, drugs, and violence. she starts to make bad decisions because she has no sense of guidance from know one. This film helps today's society to help young male & female to find something to motivate them to a goal to avoid them from the other bad influences. That's what makes this film a must see for me and anyone else who is reading this.

Read the good reviews but found the film stylistically confusing.sometimes a true life TV discovery channel reconstruction ,sometimes a TV melodrama with way too much use of music ,and on occasions a drama documentary with the camera and sound just hanging around. Lead actress held it all together with a spectacularly varied and deep range of facial expressive work. Hated to be disappointed . Needed a more cultural base to give it heart in a community. And more cinematic approach ..too much use of music to emphasise emotionally what we should see within the shots and structure...and too many Dream sequences from the lead character which are an easy way out to character development...needed to come from within the character and/or mis en scene.

Many are judging this movie to be another typical British 'gang' movie when this is not what it is at all. Honey Trap is about a beautiful 15 year old girl named Layla who has never known this lifestyle before. Moving over to brixton from Trinidad after living with her grandparents for so long, Layla moves in with her uncaring mother whom she has never really known. She gets sucked into this wonderful yet crappy world where she meets the local handsome rapper Troy who is a bit shifty. Layla is besotted with him. Its her first time in love. She falls so hard, but unfortunately, troy doesn't feel the same way and turns out to be another bad boy. But when troys rival, Sean falls for Layla, troy cannot help but to be jealous and envious and claims Layla as his and his only. In a sad way, Layla sort of likes it. All these beautiful and sad events lead up to one big final tragic one. Give it a chance.
