Unfortunately this was a "professional" job. I loves me some Dolph, but this one was hard to get through. I just pretended it said "Troma" on the case, and it made it a little easier to take.
Here's an example of the stellar writing: Forgettable character #1: I've never shot a gun before Forgettable character #2: Speak for yourself, I was... something something blah blah blah
Um... Forgettable character #1 WAS speaking for himself. The sentence literally started with "I've". Please, people... pass any English scripts by a native English speaker to look for such obvious problems with common phrases. I wouldn't even call this an idiomatic expression, just an abject failure to understand a very straightforward sentence.
Another example: At one point, the heavily armed characters pile into a pickup truck to make their getaway, and the four in the bed of the truck continue firing at zombies BEHIND THEM as they speed away. What is that meant to accomplish apart from wasting ammo? Luckily (for them) they rarely acknowledge the need to reload and never EVER run out of bullets, or this would have been a much shorter movie.

I don't get it. The storyline above mentions a video game called Dead Trigger that the government creates to fight the zombies. But there is no government video game. There is the CSU that recruits to fight zombies. It seems like there's two different stories in there. Or the script got messed with too much. This is more like Dolph Trigger than Dead Trigger. Nothing to do with the mobile game other than zombies and the name Kyle. If there was a government video game in the story that would make sense. This story makes no sense. I read it had a lot of problems being made. Crew weren't paid. Lots of script rewrites during filming. Original director was replaced. And they got chased out of Mexico by drug cartels for not paying Mexican crew. I liked the locations though. Seems like a missed opportunity. Dolph looks drunk most of the time. In fact, everyone acts like they're hungover!
I thought that this movie was going to be a lot of fun, and enjoyable, however it was far from that, and was very disappointing, with a awful plot, terrible acting and choreography. I found myself looking at my phone to check the time as I was that bored. In the end I would not recommend this movie unless you want to fall asleep.
