The Trigger Effect Ratings & Reviews
About.com
Fred Topel
Interesting thriller that loses its tension and doesn't know how to end.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a fascinating and terse look at the breakdown of common decency during a time of crisis.

Cole Smithey
Flawed but worthy.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Psychological thriller that shows the selfish and bestial impulses that lie just beneath the surface of our civilized veneer.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
A commendable but ultimately perplexing failure.
