CONTAINS NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
There's not much to say about this lumpen undead shoot-em-up except that Dolph Lundgren is the how-are-the-mighty-fallen star, playing the supergrizzled zombie killer of legend leading a squad of hopeless teenage rookies on a doomed mission into Terminal City to rescue the scientists who have possibly found a cure to the zombiedemic. As expected, nay obvious, there's a traitor in the ranks, and the lead lady scientist is both spectacularly hot and handy with a machine gun because this kind of nonsense is aimed at fifteen-year-old boys and really feels like it was written by one.
As befits a film that originated as a videogame, all the blood spurts in Dead Trigger: Unkilled are done with bad CGI, and it's all down to the evil Cyglobe Corporation which is clearly a subsidiary of the Umbrella Corporation from the Resident Evil films. Even the lamest of that series had a verve and a sense of fun about them that's completely absent here: the characters are cardboard, the dialogue is abysmal and the twist ending is a cheat. Even the Dead Rising movies are better than this and they're not exactly masterpieces. You've seen this all before, but rarely as tediously.
