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.

A routine action/zombie movie starring Dolph Lundgren with dodgy dyed black hair. He plays the leader of a squad of soldiers who go on a rescue mission to find some missing scientists and end up fighting a zombie horde in the meantime. Predictable stuff as ever, with low rent CGI blood sprays and overacting zombies. The cliched blue/grey digital look works against it and I'm reading that the director left halfway through production which makes sense, as this is all pretty stale and inane.

In 2025, Terminal City is ground zero for the zombie outbreak. Cyglobe Corporation is making a fortune on gun sales. They want to make more money with a cure. Some promising DNA sequencing exists at a Cyblobe lab in the heart of Terminal City surrounded by zombies. A group of recruits known as Dead Trigger are going on a suicide rescue mission. The recruits were hand selected for their special skills. They are being led by Dolph Lundgren.

This is a typical shoot 'em up zombie film with the expected backstabbing corporation. What made the film different was the ending. Slow moving swarming zombies.
