Thanks for the memories!

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This spoof is brilliant entertainment .Bloody funny, the lead actor has a painted on hair piece, every woman loves him, even if he makes a lot of really bad choices for a really nice guy , sic,All of the characters are hilarious parodies of the crime genre. The cops , the bad guys , the hit men, the babes, all played by nobody wannabe actors, or maybe their not wannabe anything, but are just having fun.The wife of silent Sam of course is dying whilst all the mayhem is going on, but still manages to be with Sam on his exploits through to the end, so bizarre , but hilarious...The car chases are brilliant,, defiantly stolen from the Thunderbirds... This is not a movie to be taken seriously, it's a comedy, laugh and enjoy it for what it is. Sure it's cheap, but good on everyone who took part, as its great to see people having a go. And it's cool to be silly...Hey this could be the start of a whole new genre, as long as they keep their humor . All in all a really good laugh, something different, but i am sure its not for everyone..... Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx

Sometimes reviewers get so caught up in their own little vision of what entertainment ought to be that they can't loosen up and just enjoy a movie for what it is. Case in point is SILENT SAM a fine movie. Richard Collier as Sam Ramirez is well suited as the silent hero type - a kind of early Chuck Norris - a one-man army dishing out justice where justice is due. Some of the character actors are great as well, David Ian Matheson as the borderline by the book Detective, he gives you a sense of mixed loyalties- friendship or the law. Neal Layden as Paulie the snitch - a greasy no morals guy- gives you the creeps just looking at him: and manages to create a genuine (and a bit unsettling) hatred for Ramirez. There are several plot threads, all interesting. The film is never too complicated to lose focus.It is flawed only by the low budget and an awful bit of CGI car chase stuff in the middle of the film. Recutting to eliminate this crap would produce an even higher end Action thriller. Is "Silent Sam" a little cheesy? Perhaps. Are the characters deep and the production values high? No.But nobody ever claimed that this movie was going to win awards. Producers just wanted to give their intended audience a good time, and in that task, they succeeded. And besides, who doesn't want to see Drug Dealers, Mob guys and the occasional bad Cop get what's coming to them?

The movie is good for what it is, a low to no budget film. It is along the lines of "El Meriachi" by Robert Rodriguez, his first feature that was later made into a Hollywood blockbuster with Antonio Banderas. Lots of action and some nudity. Perfect for those that like those type of films. If you are looking for high end Hollywood action then you will not like this movie. It gives actors that are not well known a chance to be known for some good work.. For that I recommend it then. I would give it a chance as the story is one that drags you in after the first five minutes. As for the special effects, they are good and the car chases are what low to no budgets get. The fight scenes are great too. Enjoy the movie as I did.

Every demographic has its fantasy movie, its veritable fairytale. Hipsters have The Big Lebowski. Nerds have Scott Pilgrim vs the World. The Bernie Madoff set even has such an ideal tale in Wall Street.Silent Sam fulfills a fantasy for a crazily-overlooked contingent of our populace: fat, balding middle-aged guys. And, my, oh my, does it ever hit the mark! Sam Ramirez, true to form is stuck in a living hell. His wife has a terminal illness, which she is only days away from dying from, his partner on the police force is trying to get him to cheat on said wife and, if that wasn't enough, there are a lot of stone cold criminals who would enjoy nothing more than to give him a pair of cement shoes and take him swimming in the Hudson. The criminals get one step closer realizing the cement shoes for Sam when they kill his partner and he begins massacring the mobsters in a bloody rage. Needless to say, lots of people die.-Richard Snyder Intimidator of the Realm
