Trigger Happy

EW's GRADE
F

Details Movie Rated: R; Genres: Comedy, Mystery and Thriller

Released theatrically as Mad Dog Time, this deadpan gangster spoof, Trigger Happy, chockful of cameos, suffocates you with style even on the small screen. Its tough talk weighs a ton, and scene after scene concludes with well-dressed mobsters smirking at each other before they fire away. Directed by Larry Bishop (son of Rat Packer Joey, who has a cameo), the whole thing seems like a Hollywood in-joke. We are not amused. F
