Courtney Howard Variety 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. Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier 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. Oct 12, 2024 Full Review Daniel Gorman In Review Online The Silent Hour looks and moves like an episode of a network TV procedural. It’s painless, frictionless, and unremarkable. Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Lucas Moore JVS Media & Productions/Team JVS 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 Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Kinnaman’s solid portrayal can’t save a film that fails to withstand basic logical scrutiny. Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Casey Chong 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 Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Papi Chulo 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 10/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
