Luca D @JoeCamel7 10/01/2021 I thought this movie was very funny and entertaining. I would watch again. So it has some cheesy fx and some plot holes it's just a slapstick spy comedy so it's really not offensive at all. There are some cringe parts when the character pause after a line waiting for the audience to laugh but other than that, some of the jokes are actually really funny. See more 01/31/2021 Spy spoof film which never hits the mark. Dean Martin is the main issue for me, if you like him you might like the film, otherwise if you like Bond and want some humour skip this. Not a film for feminists. See more william d @acsdoug 07/29/2020 Strictly in the "so bad it's good" category, The Silencers works better as an idealized version (well, a man's idealized version) of the Swingin' Sixties than as a spy spoof. Stella Stevens is both beautiful and believable as the "Helm Girl." See more 10/25/2018 Nobody plays cool like the King of Cool dino--all these over the top slapsticky Matt Helms flicks are a total blast See more 09/11/2018 An absolute blast from start to finish. Of course, it's totally ridiculous and, like much of his films, buoyed entirely by Dean Martin's sheer charisma, but nonetheless heaps of fun. I mean there's a laser-proof golf cart for christ's sake See more 09/30/2015 More nonsense that was obviously very inspirational for Austin Powers. This is the type of movie that would have been required viewing for Hefner at the mansion with it's slightly ribald sense of humor. The filmmakers found it necessary to have all weapons to have silencers in this movie, even revolvers which don't benefit from one. See more Read all reviews
