Silent Trigger, especially during its opening sequences and several flashback episodes, shows clearly the handy work and influence of director Russel Mulcahy of "Highlander" lore.For anybody expecting a fast-paced action movie, this film should not be their first choice. If, however, one is interested in a personality study of the relationship between a rookie spotter and an experienced sniper, and how this may be affected by their employer, "the Agency", the viewer is in for a treat.
While this picture includes some action scenes, the plot is overall developed at a rather slow pace.
It seems unfortunate, however, that the studio did not include the original cinematic wide-screen on this DVD, and provides only the standard full-screen cut, which proves to be a real boon for panoramic scenes, as well as several of the action scenes in which a good part of the action happens off-screen or on the perimeter.
From the looks of it the studio also omitted a few scenes, rendering the DVD shorter than the original feature length.
While this motion picture is a must-see for any Dolph Lundgren fan, all viewers would be better served if the studio would finally elect to release a full-featured wide-screen version of this movie.
