Nonureva Really Surprised!

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Michael Ledo Angel, a hit woman (Lynette Walden) comes out of retirement to redeem herself and is assigned 5 targets from the sex slave trade which includes Morton Downing Jr. The film opens up with a theme that sounds stolen from a bond film. There is video game involved in giving her "Mission Impossible" information. And one with very poor graphics. Her ex-boyfriend also spies on her.Angel dresses rather scantily during the entire film, which was rather boring.4 stars Lynette Walden's nude scene. Now available on a 50 film multi-pack.

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.

Johann This little nothing is about a female assassin named Angel. Angel has to kill five scumbags who are involved in a child prostitution ring. She uses a Wather PPK with a silencer (hence the title of the film) to eliminate low-lifes. We know that she has a shady past, but this really isn't explored too much in the film. She's being tracked by another assassin who is probably her former boss and possibly lover. The film pretty much just leaves it at that. What's really lame is that she uses a video game called "The Silencer" (again, an illusion to the title of the film) to receive information about her assignments. Her former boss/lover/whatever he used to be uses the same video game to keep tabs on where she is.The acting is sub-par. The plot seems like it was launched by a group of pot smokers in some kind of late night brain storming session. I can see it now "dude, we should make a movie about, like, this female assassin who uses the James Bond gun and, like, is being chased by her old boss. Whouldn't that be cool?" The script was a crime and the title sequences (which was supposed to be from the video game they play) would have Saul Bass turning in his grave. There's a cameo by Morton Downey Jr. that is pretty much the only highlight of the film. Unless you can spare a few brain cells and really don't care what you watch, forget this one.

emm Give me Lara Croft (TOMB RAIDER) any time of day! You can interact with her a lot more than movies like THE SILENCER. Proving that the worldwide video game industry can be smarter and more creative than Underground Hollywood, it's a disgraceful pity. Aside from our "heroine" Angel, who shows a little life using the wimpy gun, the film suffers from one extremely fatal flaw: the silly writing. Halfway through, the stalker playing "The Silencer" apparently makes the film follow his point of view. It remains to feel more "exploitation" than basic action, and is the case with virtually all of them. I don't know why the hell they're made this way. One thing is for sure: they cash in on "adult" content more than the movies themselves. Avoid this and other female-lead "actioners" (except for Pam Grier's and LA FEMME NIKITA) at all costs to prevent further upsetting.
