From Amazon.co.uk

A high-strung yet winning crime comedy, Triggermen features an appealing cast in the story of two British con artists mistaken for a pair of seasoned assassins. Adrian Dunbar and Neil Morrissey play displaced, small-time thieves rotting away in Chicago and desperate to get home to the U.K. Morrissey's character has a solution: He takes a briefcase full of cash left in a hotel lobby for a pair of laidback, Yankee killers (Donnie Wahlberg, Michael Rapaport) hired through a second party to murder a Windy City crime boss (Pete Postlethwaite). The client (Louis Di Bianco) pressures the Brits to get the job done, while the real hitmen figure out they've been supplanted. It all makes for an enjoyable (and violent) lark, but an interesting angle finds Wahlberg's soft-spoken criminal anxious to get out of his trade (he falls for Postlethwaite's gorgeous daughter, played by Claire Forlani) while Morrissey becomes increasingly convincing as a gangster. --Tom Keogh

I don't believe I've never heard of this film before! I love the films where British humour is pitted against the Americans, this film really does the trick - hilarious from start to finish (in the typically understated British way) this film takes British humour to the next level - Morrissey and Dunbar get funnier by the second - altogether, a thought provoking and hugely entertaining film!

3.0 out of 5 stars Triggermen 17 May 2009
Format:DVD
I did enjoy this film and in places it was very funny but likewise some of it was a little predictable and over the top. The relationship with Forlani & Wahlberg is a little unbelievable and I found Amanda Plummers character very annoying but overall all actors play a good part, in particular Morrisey and Dunbar as the 'wannabe' gangsters and Walhberg & Rapaport as the real deal.

The story unfolds well and I would recommend anyone to try it, especially for this price as you dont really have anything to loose. It may not be a classic but it is an enjoyable film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Little Gem 30 Aug 2008
Format:DVD
The film centres around two down-on-their-luck British men (Morrissey and Dunbar) in America trying to earn some decent money. However, when they come across a briefcase meant for two american hitmen (Wahlberg and Rapaport) holding thousands of dollars inside with a further loot if they agree to 'take out' a businessman (Postlethwaite) it proves to be too tempting. However, things get more complicated when the two original hitmen clue in on their plan...
It was a friend of mine who recommended this to me actually and having found it here for a (very) cheap price, I figured I would give it a go and I was not disappointed! As much as I like Neil Morrissey (Men Behaving Badly was a favourite of mine), it is his scenes that tend to drag a little which is pretty bad considering he is the main actor. It is the american counterparts who have the most endearing and funny scenes especially Wahlberg who is nothing but charming and cute throughout as he begins falling for the businessman's daughter (Forlani) while trying to figure out who stole his money.
It's not a classic but does what it says on the tin and you won't regret it.
