Review of Trigger Man (2007) by Mark L — 20 Apr 2012
Trigger Man is a very simple story about a group of friends who go on a hunting trip whom soon discover that they are in fact the ones being hunted. This is a raw, low-budget film, with a very slow pace, but towards the end of the film, the tension really does crank up.
The first 30 minutes or so of the film really play out almost like a buddy comedy, though much slower paced, in that everything feels safe and relaxed. When the violence does come, it's graphic and West really captures the gravity of the situation, in how the camera lingers on the violence.
To be honest, I did find the handheld to be a little too aggressive for me, particularly early on, to the point where I just found it to be incredibly distraction. While I liked the film, I think it's more a showcase of Ti West's potential more so then a great film by any means.
