      dave j Tuesday, April 22, 2014 (1986) Quiet Cool ACTION DRAMA Quite tame direct to rental movie flashed with some stunts centering on a tough cop Joe (James Remar) from NYC asked by an old flame to do a quick check up on her brother who lives in another part of town with a much smaller population. Upon going over there, he's then pursued by a small group of guys trying to protect their secret grow up operation hidden deep into the forest. This town doesn't appear to have any kind of law authority either except for the town's lone security man who seems to be allies with the bad guys too. While I always liked to see action sequences that doesn't require any special effects, I can't get over the fact that this is another one of those convoluted movies where after some of the bad guys are killed by hand made weapons or by a hand gun, the good guys don't pick up the bad guys much more powerful AR guns. Whenever I see that in movies, kills the credibility for the rest of the film. 1 star out of 4 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member For it's time, this movie is Good, another one hard to find on DVD Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member City cop goes to small town to help ex-flame find missing brother who was killed by wilderness marijuana grow op protectors. A bit over the top at some points for my liking. Western style showdown ending did lift matters at the end. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Some of the worst acting and worst stunts ever to grace the big screen Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Jamer Remar vs evil pot-growing, motorcycle-riding, machine gun-toting bad guys of the Pacific Northwest in this unintentionally funny slice of 80s cheeze. There are worse ways to kill 80 minutes.

      Mike Massie Gone With The Twins There's only so much scampering around in the woods (like a second-rate Rambo) that viewers can take, especially when nameless henchmen are the opposition. Rated: 4/10 Sep 7, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A nasty formula action film about a drug smuggling scheme in the Pacific Northwest. Rated: B- Feb 12, 2015 Full Review Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com For all its woefully generic trappings, outlandishly ineffectual music, and cardboard-flavored dialogue, Quiet Cool does offer an appreciable amount of mayhem for your rental dollar. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 10, 2006 Full Review Chuck O'Leary FulvueDrive-in.com A formulaic '80s action cheapie full of bad acting, trite dialogue and by-the-numbers action.
