The Silencer

I have seen much worse. This movie is a typical 'B' movie, but it does have some good plot twists near the end. Michael Dudikoff does his usual brooding, action packed, 'do the right thing' hero. The supporting cast does a good job. Worth watching!

Had not planned to watch this, it came on before I could switch channels from the one I'd just seen. Having liked Gabrielle Miller so much in "The Inspectors 2: A Shred of Evidence" with Louis Gossett, Jr., Jonathan Silverman, and Michael Madson, I decided to give it a try when I saw her name in the credits.

She was very good and so were Michael Dudikoff and the other actors. Not only was it entertaining, it also touched my heart. This is one I want to see again!

While this film may not be award-winning fare, it does have its moments-which, coincidentally, happens each time Michael Dudikoff's face appears on the screen. The high quality of his acting ability is obvious, especially when pitted against the co-stars of this movie. His character is a professional, living in the shadows, trying to find a place in the sun. Dudikoff gives much needed realism to the role and affords this film its only saving grace.

I would definitely recommend this film, thanks mostly to Mr. Dudikoff's efforts. It's a pity the producers stopped short of hiring quality actors after enlisting his talents. It had potential. But, hey, what do I know? Check it out for yourself!

Michael Dudikoff stars as Quinn Simmons, an assassin who is starting to hate his job and is recruited to teach a new guy Jason Wells (Brennon Elliot) the tricks of the trade however Wells is an undercover FBI agent, what Wells doesn't know is that his company is setting him up as a patsy and when all hell breaks loose, Well's only friend seems to be the same assassin who trained him in this unbelievably intense thriller which has lots of suspense and finally a worthy role suitable of Dudikoff's talents. This is easily one of Dudikoff's best roles in his entire career and this time he's backed up by a good story and good actors. The Silencer is a surprise due to it's story's texture and because that everything that happens is plausible. Of all the Dudikoff movies out there, this is the one that deserves the most credit.

4/5 Matt Bronson

I sat down with the wife and watched this one on Satellite TV. It was quite a decent film, easy to watch and little to complain about.

I particularly enjoyed the plot but I think a lot more could have been made out of the story. i.e. the film could easily have been longer, more involved, there could have been a lot more scenes and involvement between the two main characters - but this did not spoil the film.

Certainly worth more than it's current average mark.
