Oh, 'Disco Trigger,' a film that earnestly tries to spin the glitter ball of novelty but ends up inducing more vertigo than Saturday night fever. The tagline promises a tale where 'the beat drops, so do the bodies,' and sure enough, the only thing dropping faster than the bodies in this flick is the audience's interest. Gravy Peck, whose name suggests a breakfast dish gone wrong, tries so hard to be the epitome of cool as the sarcastic gunslinger-turned-disco king, but ends up firing blanks with the subtlety of a glitter cannon. His counterpart, the notorious Pita Crust-innov, delivers a performance as stale as day-old bread. And let's not forget Scone Allen, whose character's secret is less 'shocking reveal' and more 'mildly surprising pastry filling.' Directed by John Hummingbird, whose direction seems as confused as a pigeon in a nightclub, 'Disco Trigger' attempts to remix crime, mystery, and disco, but the result is a tuneless track that even the most tone-deaf DJ would scratch off the playlist. The film is like that one guy at the disco who thinks he can dance but really just flails about; it's amusing for a moment, but then you just want to look away.
