THE MOVIE \u2014 2.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Trigger Effect <\/em><\/strong>Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>All forms of communication are wiped out \u2013 no electricity, no cash machines and no telecommunications. The system and the rules society takes for granted begin crumbling down. Rumors of looters and shootings increase the fear and mistrust among frantic citizens. Now everything that society has taken for granted no longer works\u2026 and ordinary rules no longer apply.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Body Count<\/em><\/strong> Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>It was a picture-perfect art heist by a rogue\u2019s gallery of thieves. But something went deadly wrong. Now they\u2019re on the run with the $15 million worth of masterpieces, cops on their trail, and a mysterious beauty (LINDA FIORENTINO) who\u2019s along for the adventure-charged ride. They\u2019ve got to get rid of their loot, but with a fortune at their fingertips, frayed nerves and their deceptive female tag-along, just staying alive will be the real art.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Neither movie, presented in their original 1.85 widescreen aspect ratios and given 1080p high-definition transfers, look particularly great, but at least appear respectable enough. Detail on them are alright, Body Count<\/em> certainly looks better, and there is some minor scratches that crop up every so often plus there is some artifacting going on with The Trigger Effect<\/em> (not to mention I think DNR might\u2019ve been applied). That being said, while neither transfer will wow anybody, you are getting both movies in HD for the first time, stateside at least.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n

AUDIO \u2013 3.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The movies come with adequate DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 tracks. Neither of these I\u2019d consider fantastic or even all that noteworthy, but outside of some violence, the bulk of these movies are filled with either dialogue or music\/score.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\n

Doubtful many remember either one of these movies which were released in the mid-90s and probably for good reason. Despite respectable casts, Body Count<\/em> especially, the stories were generally messy and worse yet, not very memorable. This Mill Creek release is on the basic side, though the trailers are available for both films.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
