Reaction: Strong box office for an American film with a primarily Indian cast. It was a substantial budget increase over our last film, a bit more than we wanted to spend on the film, frankly. But we trusted Peter Weir behind the camera, especially considering he has five Academy Award nominations over his last six films.
"While cast is hit-or-miss, and some struggle with their English in certain scenes, Peter Weir's direction holds everything together more than adequately." - Allen Poole, AV Club
"Not even a strong comeback performance from Adrien Brody can rescue Trigger, which explores complex issues in woefully simplified terms." - Mark Rawls, Seattle Times
"Peter Weir reminds everyone that he is an expert craftsman of a director. He manages to keep things moving swiftly, which helps distract from Suraj Sharma's dull lead performance. Was Dev Patel busy?" - Gillian Donaldson, Variety
