Silent Trigger Movie Reviews

Silent Trigger is worth seeing but it’s not the best Dolph vehicle out there.

Waxman (Dolph) is an ex-Special Forces soldier, and expert marksman. Sometimes his emotions get in the way of his targets and will end up in a crisis of conscience. Now holed up in an unfinished skyscraper with his female assistant, Clegg (also known as Spotter – Waxman is also known by Shooter in some sources) (Bellman) – Waxman and Clegg must execute their new assignment, as well as survive the night in a creepy building with bad guys after them. Will they make it? Well, the movie certainly lives up to its name, as Dolph doesn’t really say that much here. Apart from that, this was the beginning of a phase of more serious-minded films from Dolph, leading up to Hidden Assassin (1995). In Silent Trigger, however, there’s a lot of set-up in the plot (perhaps too much), but what’s good about this movie is that it is at least trying to be different. What helps that are the stylistic flourishes by Russell Mulcahy that provide atmosphere and interesting shots, camera-work and set design.

On the flipside of that, however, the fact that the movie takes place in one location (except for Dolph’s flashbacks/memories) impedes the movie, even though the set is impressive. Additionally, many scenes needed more light and were too dark to see. And there needed to be more goons for Waxman and Clegg to dispatch. So in summation, we liked what was there, so we wanted to see more of it: more locations, lights and baddies. That would have helped this movie a lot.

On the bad news front, there is some really stupid and unnecessary (well, it’s always unnecessary) CGI at times. And it’s 1996 CGI at that. The inanity of these few moments shouldn’t put you off seeing this movie, we just like to point out when this happens as a warning to potential viewers, and take the opportunity to say how much we hate CGI. There’s also the classic “one really, really annoying character” cliché we see often. But the violent bits that are in the movie are great, and that keeps the viewers’ interest.

Also it should be pointed out that Dolph has an extremely large, complicated gun. When he’s assembling it, it reminded us of the scene in Spaceballs (1987) where the ship keeps going and going and going. This thing is a monstrosity, but it does some serious damage.

Shot in Montreal (it has a very Canadian feel), Silent Trigger is worth seeing but it’s not the best Dolph vehicle out there.

Good action movie

I liked it… I like Dolph Lundgren… not everything was good, but who cares… Gina Bellman… beautiful woman with a fantastic sensual voice… it was a pleasure listening to her voice… I’m not going to say anything about the movie and there’s not much to say… a shooter, a spotter, nothing new, but everybody did what they had to do and for me it’s enough… if you want you can give a look and then deciding, otherwise I did it and I’m not regretting anything about… if you want an Oscar movie, this is not indeed, so forget it…

Rubbish…

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.
