Silent Hours

Yes there is quite a lot of intercourse in this movie (that funnily enough seems to also exist as a 3 part series too) - but don't get too excited. Or maybe do, especially considering that those scenes probably will be the highlights for most - no pun intended.

The acting varies if you are being kind. If not you probably will feel every cringe worthy moment ... maybe you can be forgiving, maybe not. Maybe you'll care who did it, maybe you don't. All that does not take away from the fact that something is evidently missing here (no pun intended again) ... and it is not nudity or blood - if that plays a role in your "enjoyment" of this movie ... I may be a bit too nice when it comes to the rating, but that is me mostly. So be wary before you embark on this adventure, because it's likely that whether you predict who did it or not (I think it is quite obvious) or whether you'll even be able to find one likeable character in this ... the one thing that is almost certain: this won't make it to many top 5 lists or will be rewatched by many.

For a porn film, this has a relatively coherent storyline. A supposedly suave private detective possesses an inexplicable ability to cause women to become instantly 'in heat' if he so much as looks at them. Are we to believe he's as intriguing, captivating, and dangerous as James Bond? Actually, he looks more like the guy who tiled my bathroom. But in between all the sausage-hiding, there is a decent story. Just be prepared to dig deep for patience to find it.

James Weber Brown is an ex naval officer with issues, and now a Private Eye with a penchant for a rough sex. When various women he has bedded turn up murdered and mutilated, the police suspect him and he has to find the real killer.

Once a 3 part TV series and it shows with the first third really badly constructed and with a poor script. It does settle into relative adequacy towards the end if you can believe the fast and furious twists and turns, but overall pretty lame stuff exacerbated by a daft, unbelievable central performance by Weber Brown playing a completely unsympathetic, wooden character who women seem to adore despite the fact he is a total zombie. One or two nuggets, but mostly dire.

If you have 2 1/2 hours for a who done it flick, I would recommend this movie. It is not a fast pace movie, nor are there any big explosions etc. Keeps you guessing..... you gotta pay attention though. There are a number of hot & heavy sex scenes, I would say its a R rated movie. But it describes it as a TV movie... surely not here in the USA.

I give it a 6-6.5 stars.

For those who have reported about the length of this TV movie, this was a TV series of 3 episodes first shown in 2017, turned into one movie.

Actually, I think that it works better as three separate episodes. And, you will not guess the ending.
