webmaster's opinion
 
Another one of Dolph's best movies (in the leagues of "Pentathlon" & "Red Scorpion"), Silent Trigger really gives Dolph an opportunity to flex more than his muscles. Granted, there is some really good action sequences here, but Dolph's character development is great - through flashbacks and some pretty emotional scenes you really get a sense of who his character is and the inner demons he's battling. As an aside, something else I really liked about this movie was the style in which it was put together - you really don't know the full picture until the end of the movie (a la "Resevoir Dogs.")
