By the second act the narrative collapses into absurdity. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
While several story beats make no sense whatsoever (I didn’t even mention the goofy coyote synergy stuff), “The (Silent) War” still has enough verve and genre appeal to make for an entertaining two hours. Go to Full Review

3/5
Despite having excellent production and style, those virtues are overshadowed by the film's excessive length. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Eduard E 07/16/2023 It appears as a high-quality "Spanish western". Moments of quiet intertwine with instances of intense noise. See more Kelly J 05/05/2023 At times this was a true B movie, other times I was locked into it. My best assessment is that it has such interesting parts that it's worth seeing. Don't try to make sense of some things, I couldn't, but dig into all the rest. The Russian sniper was the element that took it to B and C status, not just her acting, but her entire role was hokey. However, Vincente's wife plays an excellent part and she deserves major kudos, as does the girl who plays her daughter (maybe 10 years old). Yeah, strange. Really strange. See more T T 03/04/2023 This is a terrible movie. It's a series of disjointed, aimless, and chaotic scenes that don't flow smoothly or make any sense at all. There are countless plot holes. It's also dark, depressing, boring, and unnecessarily long. See more 05/30/2020 The movie made so little sense that I didn't finish it. See more 05/03/2020 O filme não tem qualquer nexo. Não conta qualquer história. Não revela qualquer sensação. Não possui qualquer estilo. Não arrisca uma fotografia. Não tem identidade. Causa frustração pela falta de ligação entre os estilos e até mesmo a personalidade dos personagens, algo que tem sido comum nos títulos da Netflix. See more 02/23/2020 Terriblemente lenta, if you cut Off all the scenes where the movie wants to show his deaf, maybe the movie would last 45 minutes only. See more Read all reviews
