La Trampa (2021) is a Dominican comedy and action film, directed by Frank Perozo, produced by Caribbean Films and distributed by Spanglish Movies. It has been a hit for several weeks in theaters in the Dominican Republic and it is also exhibited in Puerto Rico and Panama.

Zumaya Cordero, General Director of Operations, Caribbean Films, pointed out that La Trampa is a comedy of tangles, “Ocean 11 style”, very fast-paced. It’s about a robbery regarding the main characters -the comedians Raymond Pozo and Miguel Céspedes- that entangles with a wedding. “Basically the story happens in 24 hours, but within a series of tangles with lots of action and a super smart script. La Trampa is one of the films of which we feel very proud and has been highly pondered and valued.”

Cordero highlighted that Caribbean Films is always looking to do something different. “It’s a movie that’s humorous at its core, but where we flirt with action.” For her Pozo and Céspedes “are the two most successful comedians, not only in the Dominican Republic, but in this entire Caribbean region.”

The cast also includes Pepe Sierra, Caroline Aquino, Bárbara Plaza, Melimel, Jenny Blanco, Gracielina Olivero, Kenny Grullon and Yasser Michelen.

The director Frank Perozo is also one of the most recognized Dominican leading actors. “He has performed in more than 45 movies. Although he is very young, 43 years old, he is a very relevant figure in the Dominican Republic. We decided to work a lot with Frank as a director, because he brings a lot of freshness. Being an actor, he directs in a different way. That is why Frank has directed the vast majority of our films,” said Cordero.
