JJJJJJ J Some weaknesses to this film but overall very good entry. The plot was both emotionally engaging and non-obvious and kept me guessing until the end. This film had a couple weaknesses. The sound especially towards the beginning was poorly done, in a few places, there was also a use of a dream state that was non obvious at the time and was never openly acknowledged as dream. (The fact that the rest of the plot contradicts it makes it clear, i think, that it was a dream state). It could have been better done and made more obvious which was a bit annoying. Besides that this film was very good. As this is somewhat a critique, or portrayal of a certain aspect of Chinese Society this film is limited in its overarching scope. For that reason I would say this a great watch for anyone into, or looking to get into Chinese Cinema, or looking to explore foreign thrillers. This film would also be a fine watch for anyone just looking for an interesting thriller. This movie is by no means incredible though and those looking for the like should search else where. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/23 Full Review Audience Member An engrossing and beautiful film that communicates on a deeper level than just dialog, but delivers suspenseful drama and furious action. "Wrath of Silence" creates a rich and complex world around the central plot, which is driven by the events around it in a harmonious and well-woven way. I recommend it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member For the last couple of months, I have been thrilled and admire how powerful the silence (usage of less dialogues) and sounds can be in today's films. They say that - Actions Speak Louder Than Words. For example, "the Tribe" Ukrainian powerful drama about deaf teenagers, or "All is Lost" intense 105minutes by Robert Redford who tries to stay alive. Or even recent hit "a quiet place" where a family forced to communicate through sign language in order to survive. In all these films audience could feel the dialogues by beautiful performances by main characters. The Chinese "Wrath of Silence" had similar effect on me. To be honest I was surprisingly interested in the Chinese "Wrath of Silence", for me watching foreign films sometimes can be challenging, following the film and subtitles sometimes can be annoying. but after watching the half of the Xin Yukun's "Wrath of Silence" I found myself locked in it. The "Wrath of Silence" is very well-executed thriller that gets more interesting as it goes. As an audience we all can feel for the main protagonist who is looking for his son. This unfortunate and hopeless quest is supported by powerful moments, bone-crunching action and dark humor. "Wrath of Silence" also have great storytelling, sound effects and beautifully crafted cinematography. Each shot worth thinking and analyzing twice. The only flaws for me was the pace of the first half. I believe it was too slow and very long, and ending could be a little better, more artistic and more meaningful rather than just having kid drawing what happened. I wish we could see him drawing before a little by little and trying to tell what happened instead he was just creepy wearing the mask.
