GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

lemon_magic "The Silencer"'s central visual metaphor (introduced in the credits) is a simulation of the worst, most boring, static, and lifeless 16 Bit Sega video game you ever played as a kid. Viewers should set their expectations accordingly.Given the juicy subject matter and sordid goings on in the screen play, you'd think that "The Silencer" would be at least be a nice, cheesy little exploitation/grindhouse film.But no one involved in this hollow rehash of clichés has the vision or the moxie to make an involving or interesting movie. I sat through the whole thing waiting for something interesting to happen - and by interesting, I don't mean events like "heroine protagonist shoots another woman while they are side by side in a shooting range gallery"...I mean "does this in a way that makes me give a damn".The actress who plays the hitwoman is attractive enough, but her screen persona lacks any real charisma or grit, so the net effect is kind of like watching Malibu Hitwoman Barbie shoot a succession of sleazy Ken dolls. And the whole movie is like that - it goes through the motions, but lacks any forward momentum.I saw this movie in a $4.99 DVD collection called "Explosive Action" with a bunch of public domain releases from Crown International Pictures. I have learned (to my sorrow) that CIP rarely produces a good picture even by accident. Say what you will about Corman and American International (or Golan/Globus-Cannon), some interesting diamonds in the rough came out of those sausage grinder assembly lines over the years. But something about CIP seems to guarantee that any possible energy or interest in a film will be traded for a superficial slickness that saps all life out of everything they release.I feel bad for the director/screenwriter on this one - I think she had something she wanted to say and a point of view she wanted to present - but all that was tossed away long before the first cuts went to the editing room and post production.

kittymeow It was an interesting film... I think the only reason I enjoyed it was the pretty leading lady who knew how to kick ass! I also thought it was funny, that within the first fifteen minutes of the film there was a sex scene. Otherwise, all the killing, the sex, and stalker boyfriend this film was umm... eccentric?

urgrue-2 how can anyone not love this film? this movie goes so beyond bad it puts ed wood to shame. to think dozens of people actually put time and effort into this film, and even got paid for their "efforts," is just mind-blowing. forget camp, forget rocky horror picture show, steven segal, look who's talking too, just forget every bad film you ever saw. if you want to cry and laugh until you die convulsing on the floor, watch this film. has more cheese than the moon, worse editing and effects than 'liquid sky', more gratuitous skimpy outfits than a britney spears video, 'the silencer' is just wall-to-wall cringers.

bkosse While this film does have some very poor sound effects editing (silencers that don't, for example), it is far from a bad film, even though it's obvious it did not intend to be anything other than a B-movie.What is most impressive is the female lead. Lynette Walden does a surprisingly good job portraying Angel, and she is the first clue that this was supposed to be a sex and action flick. However, she went far beyond that and actually made Angel at least a character, as well as someone with whom you sympathize.Some of the sound effect editing is bad, causing the two main characters' guns to sound like some warped combination of an overloud laser blast and a normal gun, it's not that dreadfully distracting. Also, there is some silliness in part of the plot.Again, let me point out that for a movie trying to be a B-grade show, Angel is one of the strongest female characters I have ever seen in a movie. She doesn't go whining off to her boyfriend every time she gets in trouble or gets hurt. A refreshing change from most movies which are supposed to have a heroine who can stand up for herself but ultimately requires the help of the hero.
