Boston Detective Frank Shaw (Joel Kinnaman) returns to duty after a career-altering injury leaves him with permanent hearing loss. Tasked with interpreting for Ava Fremont (Sandra Mae Frank), a deaf witness to a brutal gang murder, they find themselves cornered in a soon-to-be-condemned apartment building when the killers return to eliminate her. Cut off from the outside world, these two strangers must lean on each other to outsmart killers they can't hear coming for their only hope of making it out alive.

Not only does it lack a satisfying payoff when it comes to its set-up of intriguing, character-driven action sequences, the narrative’s emotional pull also yields diminishing returns.

Yes, this has been done before but the stars of this film make it work. Joel Kinnaman as Shaw is not quite enough of a commanding presence, but he garners your sympathy. Deaf actress Sandra Mae Frank as Ava has enough presence to carry the two of them.

The Silent Hour looks and moves like an episode of a network TV procedural. It’s painless, frictionless, and unremarkable.

The Silent Hour manages to feel different than most recent films in this genre by keeping the ideas and characters fresh. This film is entertaining from start to finish.

Rated: B

Kinnaman’s solid portrayal can’t save a film that fails to withstand basic logical scrutiny.

Casey's Movie Mania

Brad Anderson’s otherwise intriguing Die Hard-like thriller with a novelty twist doesn’t reach its full potential.

Rated: 2.5/5

Its an ok “B” film. Probably shouldve went straight to on demand. I love the fact that they gave an opportunity to an actress whos actually deaf in real life, but considering most theater attendees dont understand sign language, i wish they had translated more of her dialouge. Also, the “mole” reveal didnt feel like a surprise, since that actor is usually typecast as a villain in most of his films

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
