[A] cinematic bag of pain.

Radio Times

The plot and its over-reliance on double- and triple-crosses leaves far too many questions unanswered, to the point where it's a struggle to determine which side are the villains, although Pepper's kindly nature suggests he's one of the good guys.

Rated: 2/5

The idea of getting to see a great actor like Pepper, who has impressed for so long as a character actor in supporting parts, getting his own franchise with an action star role is certainly exciting.

A typically underused Barry Pepper finally gets his moment to shine, it's just a shame that the quality of the script doesn't match that of his performance

Weighed down by tough guy banalities, there is very little in Trigger Point that we haven't seen before and done better.

A man in hiding and then found out. Violence ensues. Same old same old plot but with Barry Pepper and a few added twists it works.

Rated: 6/10

Like the movie, just didn’t like how it just put of the blue ended, otherwise it would have been a really good movie

An enjoyable predictable action film that is a setup to further sequels.

Started ok, and nice to see Mr Pepper in a lead role. But, quickly descended into tropes wide and deep enough to drive a bus into: Infinite bullets in the gun, single shot kills by the good guy while the bad guys miss consistently, bad guy speech just before being killed at the end, inexplicable re-appearance of the bookstore lady (who apparently got shot earlier), music score desperately (and unsuccessfully) trying to create drama/tension. Yawn.

R 9

Almost minimally watchable, though all in all 'Trigger Point' makes for an underwhelming 90 minutes. It's like a mix of 'John Wick' and, less so, 'The Equalizer', but unfortunately it never reaches the heights of either of those two flicks. Barry Pepper is actually a relatively solid lead, I could see myself enjoying a performance of his in a role like this - but only if the flick had more going for it, which this sadly doesn't. It would seem a trilogy of these could be on the horizon. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in seeing where they'd take things, but that's merely some sort of morbid curiosity that I have as opposed to any kind of excitement or anything.

It's a good Canadian motion picture, Trigger Point, 2021, directed by a Canadian Brad Turner...with strong castings, a Canadian, Colm Feore...and of course, the leading actor, also a Canadian-American, Barry Pepper...

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

One of the worst TV shows ever put to air. The script is awful. The direction is a shambles. And either their ‘expert advisors' didn't want to be a part of it and walked away, or they have been totally ignored. Total rubbish.
