The Trigger Effect
1996
**
Director: David Koepp
Cast: Kyle MacLachlan, Elisabeth Shue, Dermot Mulroney, Richard T. Jones

This thriller about a blackout starts out brilliantly. It shows how many aspects of everyday life are affected and how people would act in such circumstances. Then the guns are pulled out, people start shooting each other and our protagonists go on the run. The ending is unbelievably lame.
