movie review - The Trigger Effect
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 1997.02.15
This one is about an electrical blackout which appears to have effected the entire North American continent. In an unnamed American city, it only takes hours for things to fall apart. It also tears up our heroes, a small trio of yuppies played by Dermot Mulroney something, Kyle McLachlan, and Elizabeth Shue. People get shot, cars get stolen, and eventually the lights come on, setting everything right. Meh.
Not recommended.
