Pretty Ordinary Movie.......2007-06-29

Lundgren plays a sniper sent to assassinate a target with a woman spotter. They meet in a half-built building the night before prepare, reminisce and wait for their target the next day. It seems these two are pretty incompetent they have a history of failed missions. Apparently one of the security guards thinks the woman spotter is pretty alright but he doesn't take rejection too well. She thinks Lundgren is pretty alright and do what comes naturally. But don't look for anything new here because you will be disappointed its pretty much the same as any other movie in this genre.

Some things I found quite strange about this movie are:
1. Why would the organization keep partnering these two when they keep failing missions together?
2. Why would the organization keep giving them second chances every time they fail a mission?
3. I don't think Lundgren is taking this movie seriously he just seems to be modeling that sniper rifle he fires twice and plays around with for the rest of the movie.

This movie is not bad and its not good either its pretty ordinary. Why are Lundgren's movies always so ordinary? This is one of those movies you may put on when your bored or on a raining day and it will keep you occupied for a couple of hours or so and you may watch it a couple of times but its not a movie that you will watch very often. I got this with a big heap of movies I bought off E-Bay and I've had for about 3 years and only watched it 4 times.

Better than expected.......2007-03-01

I tend to have a fairly poor opinion of movies of this sort, meaning inconsequential action movies. This category would include the films of Steven Segal, Jean-Claude van Damme, Sly Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the like. With a few notable exceptions ("The Terminator," for example) these are forgettable time fillers. I was aware Dolph Lundgren made action movies, though I always associate him with his role as the Russian behemoth from "Rocky IV." Little did I realize he is Swedish, not Russian (the name should have been my first clue), is a martial artist and he is reputedly very intelligent; he holds a master's degree in chemical engineering and had a Fulbright Scholarship to go to MIT. Needless to say, I have newfound respect for Mr. Lundgren. Unfortunately, high intelligence does not necessarily always translate into great films. Such is the case with "Silent Trigger," a mostly forgettable tale about an assassin (Lundgren), who has an epiphany, decides he is the bad guy and refuses to shoot a high-profile target. This leads his spotter (played by the marvelous Gina Bellman) to be ordered to dispose of him. We jump forward to another opportunity for assassination, where Shooter and Spotter again encounter one another. I am impressed by some of the cinematography, and the understated, dark atmosphere sometimes resembles a horror or suspense film. The violence is quite bloody and strong in this, which is something to which I am not very accustomed. I primarily watched this to see Gina Bellman, who is so good as Jane on "Coupling." Her physically demanding role here as an assassin is much different, though she is just as likeable. Does Dolph choose roles that do not require him to emote, or is he typecast in these roles? Either way, there isn't much opportunity for him to show his chops here, though we don't go into this film expectin4g as much. The finale is rather satisfying, so I would recommend if you are in the mood for a half-way decent action flick. The DVD offers a good transfer and a few different audio and subtitle options. It is also full screen pan-and-scan, which seems fitting for the caliber of the film.

another failure with Dolph Lundgren.......2004-11-21

Dolph Lundgren (Universal Soldier, Blackjack) plays a man who is hired to take out a primary target and helping him is his old partner, Gina Bellman. Soon things heat up as the two security guards working at the building they are at start to get fiesty and one of them takes drugs and sees spiders and stuff. The 2 are also in a heated romance and get caught in a deadly cat and mouse game of double cross as the agency they are working for want them dead. Another Dolph Lundgren stinker vehicle though Lundgren can't act if his life depended on it. He couldnt pull of He-Man and The Punisher, he can't pull off anything else. Gina Bellman is hot but her acting is horrible as well as the rest of the cast. There's nothing like being hired to kill people and then have sex. Directed by Russell Mulcahy (Highlander). Bottom line is this actioner is a borefest.

Well done!.......2004-07-10

This is probably the best dolph lundgren movie ever made. it has everything. you nee to see it.

stylish action.......2004-05-22

The beginning scene is strange, with Dolph exiting his street-level apartment with his "violin", as if he is about to go amble over to work , in some forgotten, quiet, mill town. The setting is strange..., a huge, modern skyscraper, again, in the middle of an unnaturally quiet city.

Summed up, the movie does not really make sense-yet I still enjoyed the action and sarcastic remarks. Dolph's war weary mercenary character seemed improbable ( why keep working for the "corporation", if you continually refuse to do the dirty work--do they have some unmentioned black mail on him? An explanation would have been nice ).

It is a dark movie and makes no apologies for that, right up to the ambiguous ending.

Product Description

The assassin is about to become the next target. The Agency, a sinister underground government bureau run by a cold, enigmatic, Supervisor is clandestinely engaged in the dirty business of assassination. After failing their previous mission, the assassination tem of Sniper and Spotter are reunited and given another chance to redeem themselves. Their target: A car driving along a freeway at dawn. Their station: The Algonquin, an unfinished labyrinthine skyscraper. But, if the Sniper fails, the Spotter has secret orders to terminate him with a burn out liability. As they wait for morning, the Sniper confronts his inner demons, no longer sure what he's doing is right. As he agonizes, the Spotter wonders whether her teacher has become a burn out liability. While they watch and wait, two security guards close in on the team's position. As the hour of the hit approaches, the four find themselves on a collision course with their own survival on the line.
