La hora del silencio

That 139 mins went quickly. Fantastic suspense movie.

Enjoy this as pure entertainment and forget and remember it's just a movie and you'll enjoy it.

A police officer that is going deaf quickly as a result of a work accident must defend a deaf lady as the bad guys take them hostage in an empty building. Time is ticking and who does one trust? With no hearing the two must communicate with their other senses and outwit the intruders.

The main actress who is deaf in real life is brilliant and I'm looking forward in seeing her past movies and following her future. The whole acting/ behind the scenes team build a great thriller filled with suspense and drama.

One of the baddies ( you have to wonder ) how he got that far as a criminal.

A couple of minor plot holes, predictable in parts however does what a thriller movie should do and that's to enjoy.

Just to add the sound team did amazing job with sound dropping where it should and shouldn't and echoing for the deaf characters.

Well done.

Yes, okay, you aren't getting anything original, but The Silent Hour is a well made, taut, action Thriller and thoroughly engaged me from start to finish. Good performances from the cast, especially the two leads.

The Silent Hour starts with an intriguing premise, but quickly falls into the trap of predictability. While the performances are decent, the plot unravels in a way that's easy to foresee, with little to no surprises. The suspense, which is crucial for a thriller of this nature, feels underwhelming as the story progresses. Every twist can be spotted from a mile away, making the film less engaging than it could have been. It's not a bad watch if you're in the mood for something light and don't mind knowing exactly where the story is headed. Sadly, it just doesn't offer enough in terms of originality or tension to stand out.

"The Silent Hour" is a thrilling auditory adventure that plunges us into a world of silence and suspense. Joel Kinnaman's portrayal of a deaf detective, forced to rely on his instincts and a deaf witness, is a masterclass in understated intensity. The film's sound design is a character in itself, creating a palpable sense of isolation and tension. While the plot may be predictable at times, the film's unique premise and strong performances elevate it above the ordinary. "The Silent Hour" is a must-watch for fans of suspenseful thrillers and a testament to the power of storytelling without words.

An entertaining thriller just do just that -- entertain. It should not present a paradox to the viewer, or do anything which makes it harder for the viewer to identify with the main character. Yet this film actually goes out of its way to do just that. On paper, all the boxes are checked. Brad Anderson is both prolific and successful at his craft. Kinnaman is one of those actors who is easy to relate to, and never gives a bad performance or disapponts. The story is obviously a riff on the Die Hard formula, and pretty hard to mess up as long as you remember to "set up" the action scenes in advance. Even with the checked boxes, the result is a letdown. Giving Kinnaman's character a literal handicap -- even to the point of having him repeatedly fiddle with his hearing aid -- makes it harder to relate to the main character. The Die Hard arc is not well developed, and the action scenes do not deliver on the "killbox" promise that the audience expects. Instead of leaving feeling entertained, one leaves with the feeling that this could have been better done. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
