Silo

Moving, well-written, well-acted original story and an important message combined; this film tells the risks that America's farmers face every day in the Heart Land. Not sure why this film has such low ratings here on IMDb; the cinematography is excellent, the scenes are all beautifully shot throughout the entire film, and the acting is top notch, especially considering I didn't recognize any of the members of the cast, aside from Chris Ellis in a small role, who also acts near the top of his career. I see now that IMDb has created a 600 character limit for reviews also, which is an extreme pity, since I've said all I came to say about this film, and is especially tragic when the NEGLECT that has been given to this site over the last 15 years is all been overlooked (bot reviews, reviews that are literally two lines long, troll reviews, etc.) but here we are, with me writing a legitimate review and I'm forced to chock out 94 more characters because now you you fkheads think we should have a limit. Choke. Anyway, the movie is good. Recommended.

SILO -----8/10.

To ryan-11985 you must not be a grain farmer with storage on the farm or an emergency responder because if you tie a rope around him and pull him up, you will pull him in two and kill him. The weight of grain in an entrapment is unbelievable. Farmers die every year from this very thing because they get in a hurry, because farmer's work is never done, and those who survive all say the same thing, "I knew better". Farmers are the backbone of this country and it's wonderful to see a movie that is realistic and shows the dangers of being a farmer. #proudtobeafarmer #proudtobeafirstresponder.

Watched it in Decatur Illinois and couldn't believe how well it moved. Not a soul there pulled out their phone or looked away.

"SILO" feels more like a documentary than a feature. The actors give very lived-in performances that make the characters seem like people you've known all your lives.

Though the setting is contained (no pun intended), this is the sort of "small" film with big ambitions that we complain "they" never make any more. A deceptively simple, straightforward story that contains the multitudes of the complex characters who live in the vast middle of this country.

Are the relationships between characters a little confusing at first? Yes, and I think that is by design. We the audience are privileged outsiders in this tight-knit world, and the movie isn't going to stop to explain everything on our behalf. How refreshing!

I had so much fun watching this movie! It was suspenseful and I genuinely cared about the characters. I'll admit there weren't really any "surprises" but that didn't effect my enjoyment in any way.

I'm glad they didn't try to make it longer. The timing was perfect through the whole movie without any unnecessary filler scenes.

Overall a fantastic movie and would definitely recommend.
