Silent Trigger

[Jadedragon61]

Was wondering if any of you maniacs had seen Silent Trigger (1996), and what you thought of it?

Personally, overall, I rate it as quite good. Lungren was never much of an actor, but in this film he fits like a glove.

Here's a clip from the opening:

I was surprised to find this detailed description.

Maybe I'm not the only one who liked this film.

BTW, with this cover, same as on the VCD copy I have, I almost didn't even buy it

I have never heard of this movie, so obviously I have not seen it. I watched the clip you linked to, looks like a decent film, I did watch it with the sound off though. Thanks for the post and the heads up.

I've mentioned this film to other fans, SMK, and it seems few people have heard of it. I think it received only a limited distribution.

However, for a very interesting mix of action, some witty dialogue, and a kind of dark, almost surreal, setting, it really is a good film. It's not at all what you might expect of a Lungren film.

BTW, according to the wiki-link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolph_Lundgren "Dolphy" is no dunce. I knew he was a legit martial artist, but didn't know about his academic background.

(Oh, and check out this strange fact put at the end of the Personal section: In January 2009, Lundgren's Marbella home was reportedly broken into by three masked burglars who tied up and threatened Qviberg, but fled when they spotted a family photo and realized that the house was owned by Lundgren. The intruders are still at large.)
