Layla and Shiree were separated ten years ago but reunite in Brixton where Shiree, naive to her detriment, falls in love quickly with the type of guy who leads to her downfall.
"Honeytrap" is the kind of movie that has potential as it explores the real-life murder of Shakilus Townsend, but it unfortunately is the type of film that struggles to carry weight.
Focusing on what Layla, the film's Samantha Joseph, was going through and not exploring deeply any of the themes introduced, while not outright exploiting a murder, it can feel like it.
