Honeytrap

Layla is a 15 year old girl who has just come 'home' to her mother in Brixton having spent the last ten years in Trinidad with her grandparents. A nice lad, Shaun, takes an immediate shine to her and Layla likes him too, if only as a friend.

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.

Quality of this film is not very high, the acting is not great at all. Compared to other British films this is shocking.

This is a tragic coming of age story centering around Layla (Jessica Sula) an immigrant from Trinidad living with her estranged mother (Naomi Ryan) in London. Layla hangs out with the wrong crowd and tries to fit in.

The IMDb description somewhat ruins the climax to this movie, the storyline which is explained in the films description doesn't occur until the final 10 minutes of the movie. Honeytrap is a story of bullying, manipulation and the struggle a young girl living in London faces while trying to be accepted somewhere that she doesn't belong.

This movie was very well-done. You can tell that it's an low budget movie but that fact isn't distracting.

This was based on a real case of inter gang rivalry and a heartless honey trap to get one of the members. I remember how heartless the whole thing was.

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.

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.
