Silent Trigger (1996)

Memorable, crazy movie

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Started off reasonably well, then the camera man seemed to have lost his way. The only thing he kept filming was the stonework inside the building. For Example, Dolph and Gina were talking at length, and the camera pans to the stonework, you don't see their faces, just a glimpse of an ear and top of Gina's' head. The camera work just gets hilarious after this, when they're not in the frame at all. Spent most of the movie talking about it. I had read the previous reviews, thought i'd give it a try as Dolph's a good actor. Gina's voice was really annoying but could see by it.

Waxman ( Dolph Lundgren ) is a highly trained, expert assassin working for a secretive undercover organization known as The Agency. After failing to pull the trigger at his target in a previous mission in a unnamed war-torn East European country, Waxman ( Dolph Lundgren )and Clegg ( Gina Bellman ) his beautiful accomplice who is his "spotter" are given one last chance to make things right.When i saw this movie i was very surprised how creative and stylish this movie turned out to be, the lighting, the soundtrack, locations and characters made this movie my favourite Dolph lundgren movie. I must say that most of the credit must go to the director of this movie Russell Mulcahy, not only he made this movie a very entertaining action film for action fans, he also creates a good style of suspense.

Dolph Lundgren stars as Waxman an assassin who becomes the target when his supervisor (Conrad Dunn) double crosses him, while Klegg (Gina Bellman) has an agenda of her own in this strictly routine "hitman with a heart" caper. Only some high energy action setpieces relieve the tedium.

In my opinion, this movie is pretty uneventful and somewhat boring. It's okay to let long time pass between action sequences if you know how to fill the "downtime" well... This movie doesnt.However, this movie utilize some of the best lighting I've seen. And considering this is sort of a B-movie, it's simply amazing. They've used lots of colored, cleverly placed, spotlights to enhance the walls. You could almost be fooled to think the movie was designed by an interior decorator.So, if you are interested in the technical aspect of moviemaking, it's worth seeing just for this reason. This movie should be an excelent guide movie on how to use spectacular lighting the correct way if anyone are teaching a course in this.So, to sum up, slow movie, some stupid scenes that people have mentioned here before, but nice lighting makes it worth watching.
