Booby Trap is billed under drama/thriller/suspense but unfortunately all were on very short supply throughout this little British caper. A caper is a more apt description of the proceedings. By that measure it is just a tad bit more successful but not really enough to get excited about. It involves and absent minded professor who loses a pen that has been adapted with an explosive and a slapstick type of yarn unfolds to get it back. The art direction and sets aren't particularly interesting, nor was the score. As for the performances, they're mostly fine but none really shine. As for the explosive loaded pen, I'm not going to spoil things for you but I'm sure you can guess how that ends.
