Dead Trigger: Tiroteio Zumbi

Unfortunately this was a "professional" job. I loves me some Dolph, but this one was hard to get through. I just pretended it said "Troma" on the case, and it made it a little easier to take.

Here's an example of the stellar writing: Forgettable character #1: I've never shot a gun before Forgettable character #2: Speak for yourself, I was... something something blah blah blah

Um... Forgettable character #1 WAS speaking for himself. The sentence literally started with "I've". Please, people... pass any English scripts by a native English speaker to look for such obvious problems with common phrases. I wouldn't even call this an idiomatic expression, just an abject failure to understand a very straightforward sentence.

Another example: At one point, the heavily armed characters pile into a pickup truck to make their getaway, and the four in the bed of the truck continue firing at zombies BEHIND THEM as they speed away. What is that meant to accomplish apart from wasting ammo? Luckily (for them) they rarely acknowledge the need to reload and never EVER run out of bullets, or this would have been a much shorter movie.

Cheap and amateurish, looks like it was shot on someone's phone.So bad I couldn't finish watching it. This movie is worse than any of the ones shown on MST3K

Literally one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I mean it

I don't get it. The storyline above mentions a video game called Dead Trigger that the government creates to fight the zombies. But there is no government video game. There is the CSU that recruits to fight zombies. It seems like there's two different stories in there. Or the script got messed with too much. This is more like Dolph Trigger than Dead Trigger. Nothing to do with the mobile game other than zombies and the name Kyle. If there was a government video game in the story that would make sense. This story makes no sense. I read it had a lot of problems being made. Crew weren't paid. Lots of script rewrites during filming. Original director was replaced. And they got chased out of Mexico by drug cartels for not paying Mexican crew. I liked the locations though. Seems like a missed opportunity. Dolph looks drunk most of the time. In fact, everyone acts like they're hungover!

If ever a movie could be described as half-arsed it's Dead Trigger. From the acting, script, direction, plot and overall execution it just falls flat on its face. And while some films fall into the category of so bad it's good, Dead Trigger is just plain bad.

The plot is all over the place, stuff happens with little to no logic or explanation given. None of the protagonists make any sort of impact whatsoever. I've seen cereal boxes with more personality and when anyone dies the only thing you feel is indifference.

Dolph Lundgren spends the entire movie with a dish cloth round his neck. I don't know why.

The only scene that stands out is the one where a recruit, who was boasting about his shooting prowess, comes face to face with a zombie, freezes in terror and drops his shotgun, somehow blowing his head off.

If you like zombie movies avoid this like the plague.

If you like Dolph Lundgren movies go elsewhere. This is really not worth your time or money.
