Well-crafted but not very enlightening. The ending will leave you both cold and confused.

Explanation, exposition and character development are at or near zero, but an atmosphere of dread is built effectively and West's technique is strong.

Devised for minimum fuss and maximum tension, Trigger Man is the little thriller that could.
