Reviews
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
jacksantos-3 The movie is very violent and forward in its storyline. If you are the type of person that just loves these Bruce Willis type of movies you may not be very impressed with Silent Sam. In Silent Sam the fights don't take 20 minutes, There are no slow motion shots of bullets passing by - the first shot usually hits the target, and the gun is empty after nine rounds have been fired. The Hero is not superman and can be killed- there is danger. However, there is no happy ending - I think that this kind of reality is really refreshing; all movies should be like this.Is there a negative side to Silent Sam? Of course there is: The super low budget, and below average CGI. This sometimes takes away from the nuances of the plot. Still it is a good movie to watch, you won't regret doing so.
Chuck Sanchez I liked this movie! For a straight to DVD low budget indie film, the acting is OK and the story line has some compelling aspects worth looking into. I wasn't quite sure how to take it at the beginning. It took about ten minutes for the action to start, but after that- I was hooked. If you're expecting the Hollywood hundred million dollar production then this movie is not for you. The production values were low, and the CGI very rough: but if you enter into it without the super big budget frame of mind, and see for it for what it is - some friends and some junk food - it's enjoyable! A good film for the low budget DVD renter.
oscarlawren The story behind this movie contains certainly interesting aspects worth developing, but as soon as the bad guy starts fondling the breasts of a lady-cop and giving her el-shocks, with a lousy snitch watching her, you know this is horror for teenagers and it will be bad movie. The car chases are unbelievably fake and simply PC-racing stuff while Sam is on a killing spree. B-film? No C- or D-film with lousy acting, predictable lines and cliché-characters. Not worth giving a minute or your time. That is if you do not like this kind of stuff, a cafeteria catering you violence and simplistic lust with no brain and interesting people attached to the story.
slatromhsiloof There really needs to be a way to put negative stars on these low budget turds. The "good" reviews are obviously being put up by people involved in the production of the "film". This "film" is so bad it doesn't even deserve a 1 star vote. This waste of time and money appears to have been written and shot by a bunch of drunk frat boys in the span of an afternoon. Cartoon blood added later courtesy of free rendering software downloaded from the wifi connection on a laptop at the local McDonald's. This movie is so bad, please don't even waste the time to finish reading any reviews about it. I wouldn't recommend watching it unless you are the college professor who has to grade it, and if you are he....I feel sorry for you. How anyone would waste their time filming such garbage is beyond my comprehension. This movie isn't even worth watching to make fun of it, and the people who shot it. Every copy should be rounded up, loaded onto a rocket and shot into the sun so that every trace of its existence can be wiped from the face of the earth. I'm embarrassed to even be of the same species as the person who thought someone would want to see this. I watched the first 20 minutes and I think I have suffered permanent brain damage from it. Its impossible to put into words how truly horrible this "movie" is. I would rather watch colonoscopy video than this thing. This thing is UGLY. Just reading the reviews makes me want to punch the director in the face. AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!
