It remains a bit hit or miss for South African director Alistair Orr, who has made enough decent genre films, but has yet to find his 'breakthrough film'. This 'Triggered' is in line with his previous film 'From a House on Willow Street' in terms of level. It is his take on the 'battle royale' concept. It remains an exciting premise; a group of so-called ''friends'' are forced to compete against each other while the clock is ticking on their bomb vests. But the lack of variety in the many bloody encounters takes away much of that excitement. Time to show some balls, Orr!

Revised and the rating remains. Despite the largely negative sounds, director Alastair Orr succeeds well in creating a pleasant atmosphere and profiting from a nice concept. The acting is also above average and the humor is effective, where sharp dialogues are used effectively. Triggered sometimes really hits the mark with practical effects, but Orr plays his cards a bit too safe in that respect. The bloodshed could easily have been doubled and the run-up is too slow, but fortunately it does not get in the way of an entertaining movie night too much.
