Adam Mullins-Khatib Chicago Reader By the second act the narrative collapses into absurdity. Mar 6, 2020 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Renee Schonfeld Common Sense Media Brutal, over-the-top violence in Spanish war drama. Rated: 1/5 Feb 21, 2020 Full Review John Serba Decider You can poke holes in this plot with a plastic spoon. Feb 3, 2020 Full Review Juan Pando Fotogramas Despite having excellent production and style, those virtues are overshadowed by the film's excessive length. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2019 Full Review Ignacio Navarro El antepenúltimo mohicano Each shot is composed with care.

Eduard E It appears as a high-quality "Spanish western". Moments of quiet intertwine with instances of intense noise. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/25/23 Full Review Kelly J 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/05/23 Full Review T T 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/04/23 Full Review gustavo Filme começa decente e no meio do caminho várias coisas sem nenhum sentido vão acumulando e fazendo o roteiro ficar cada vez mais ridículo. Os personagens não seguem NENHUMA lógica. O protagonista é um cara do bem que luta por uma causa nobre e poupa a vida de inocentes? POW ele mata um idoso inocente da própria vila onde nasceu. A mulher do amigo do protagonista ama o cara? POW ela transa com o protagonista que era amigo dele. Aparece uma personagem que parece ser minimamente justa? POW ela resolve torturar um inocente. A minha única dúvida é se era pra eu torcer pra algum desses personagens? Era pra eu sentir alguma empatia por eles? Só queria que caisse uma bomba atômica e morressem todos mesmo. Não consegui passar da metade do filme de tão podre. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie made so little sense that I didn't finish it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
