Review of Silencer

Silencer (2018)
3/10
UFC Fans and Danny Trejo Fans, Don't Watch This
9 September 2018
Like many people, the only reason I watched this film is to see legendary MMA fighters Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz. (OK, I've never missed a Danny Trejo movie either.) You expect the action sequences to be awesome. About 20 minutes in the mumbling hero faces off with Chuck Liddell, who plays a cartoonish bad guy. This little Hollywood twerp intimidates Liddell, who pulls a knife too small to peel a potato. Chuck Liddell pulling a knife? From there, it gets even worse. The action scenes are terrible, choreographed without any serious attempt at realism. Danny Trejo plays a Latin Godfather. He's sappy emotional, weak and with bad judgment. Tito fares a little better, but not much. If you want to see Chuck Liddell on screen, watch his brief scenes in 2007's Bobby Z. Watch any other Danny Trejo film and see a real life badass show genuine menace. This doesn't qualify as a B Movie. Bring back the Death Penalty. The writers, director and producers should be taken out and shot. I give it three stars, one each for Danny, Chuck and Tito.
