A cross between ‘The Silence of the Lambs’ and a Taylor Swift concert. That's how M. Night Shyamalan, one of the most popular names in American thrillers, describes this film. Josh Hartnett is Cooper, a father who takes his daughter Riley (Ariel Donoghue) to a mega-concert by Lady Raven, a pop star played by Saleka Shyamalan (the director's daughter). But in reality, Cooper is a serial killer and the whole concert is a police operation to try and catch him. One of the film's inspirations is a 1985 operation in which the US Marshals and the Washington police teamed up to offer tickets to an American football game in order to catch fugitives from justice.
