Silent Trigger was good like I said, little bit different, more of mystery, but very solid.

I didnt like the Defender, I actually have Bridge of Dragons which I forgot to list. Thanks guys, I wanna see Silent trigger the most Bridge of Dragons is REALLY sub-par. While the action is generally well-done (except for the opening scene), the rest is really passable. Silent Trigger is one of his stronger efforts, but some of the editing is really weak and the story stops making sense halfway through. Still great action for a DTV movie, and Gina Bell is a babe. If there are any films of his that I really don't recommend, they're unquestionably Direct Contact, Pentathlon, Diamond Dogs, and Detention. Detention is absolute shit with a ridiculous plot, awful acting and even worse editing. The whole film feels like it was written by the kid from your childhood that ate glue. Diamond Dogs has really passable direction and acting. The whole thing just feels poorly pieced together. Lots of wasted potential. Direct Action is a really lackluster film that uses clips from a dozen other movies to fill in the blanks. The chase scenes had to be sped-up in post-production, so whenever Dolph is zinging down the street on a bike, the bystanders are speed-walking at absurd velocities. The action is chopped together poorly and the choreography just plain sucks. What suffers most seems to be the lazy writing and brainless direction. Awful angles, timing, everything. I'm not going to even bother with Pentathlon. That's just unspeakable levels of shit. If you haven't checked out Missionary Man or The Killing Machine, I recommend giving them both a look. Missionary Man is a more serious, western-esque feature with an awesome climax, whereas The Killing Machine is a predictable-yet-fun balls-to-the-wall actioner.

If any of you have a K-Mart nearby, keep an eye open in the DVD section for this... Picked it up for only $5.00!
