Silent Sam

...but it isn't. Its actually a fairly serious attempt at filmmaking.

This 'movie' was passed on to me by a friend who has a friend who is an aspiring actor and was one of the leads. Hopefully, he takes some classes and never mentions to anyone that he appeared in this film. YIKES. I am also considering de-friending said friend for passing this on to me.

Silent Sam is a sad, desperate, pathetic attempt to make a film on little money in hopes of some sort of DVD release. Unfortunately, they had a VERY amateur cast (honestly, its hard to concentrate on the 'story' when you spend most of the time cringing and/or feeling sorry for the performers. I have to assume none of them were paid)an inexperienced crew and little or no money for effects. It says the budget for the film is $300,000. I would love to know where that went. Seriously. Somebody tell me.

Silent Sam proves that literally anybody can make a movie. But should they be allowed? If you are feeling suicidal, this is not recommended viewing.

The movie is good for what it is, a low to no budget film. It is along the lines of "El Meriachi" by Robert Rodriguez, his first feature that was later made into a Hollywood blockbuster with Antonio Banderas. Lots of action and some nudity. Perfect for those that like those type of films. If you are looking for high end Hollywood action then you will not like this movie. It gives actors that are not well known a chance to be known for some good work.. For that I recommend it then. I would give it a chance as the story is one that drags you in after the first five minutes. As for the special effects, they are good and the car chases are what low to no budgets get. The fight scenes are great too. Enjoy the movie as I did.

This spoof is brilliant entertainment .

Bloody funny, the lead actor has a painted on hair piece, every woman loves him, even if he makes a lot of really bad choices for a really nice guy , sic,

All of the characters are hilarious parodies of the crime genre. The cops , the bad guys , the hit men, the babes, all played by nobody wannabe actors, or maybe their not wannabe anything, but are just having fun.

The wife of silent Sam of course is dying whilst all the mayhem is going on, but still manages to be with Sam on his exploits through to the end, so bizarre , but hilarious...

The car chases are brilliant,, defiantly stolen from the Thunderbirds...

This is not a movie to be taken seriously, it's a comedy, laugh and enjoy it for what it is. Sure it's cheap, but good on everyone who took part, as its great to see people having a go. And it's cool to be silly...

Hey this could be the start of a whole new genre, as long as they keep their humor . All in all a really good laugh, something different, but i am sure its not for everyone..... Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx

How?

I'll tell you how.

The people that made this piece of **** did all the reviews and artificially boosted its rating.

It's one of the worst movies ever made.

If it wasn't for the brief nudity, I would tell you to spend the remaining 1 hour and 29 minutes doing something else.

It IS possible to make a good movie on a low low budget, but you have to:

Prepare

Care

Dare

None of this dreck looks like it was made by people who gave a **** about anything except their own egos.

None of it.

The best feature of this grade Z garbage are the titles.

That's it.

Avoid this and watch the original film, Hanabi (Fireworks) that this junk shamelessly rips off.

You'll be glad you did.

Every demographic has its fantasy movie, its veritable fairytale. Hipsters have The Big Lebowski. Nerds have Scott Pilgrim vs the World. The Bernie Madoff set even has such an ideal tale in Wall Street.

Silent Sam fulfills a fantasy for a crazily-overlooked contingent of our populace: fat, balding middle-aged guys. And, my, oh my, does it ever hit the mark! Sam Ramirez, true to form is stuck in a living hell. His wife has a terminal illness, which she is only days away from dying from, his partner on the police force is trying to get him to cheat on said wife and, if that wasn't enough, there are a lot of stone cold criminals who would enjoy nothing more than to give him a pair of cement shoes and take him swimming in the Hudson. The criminals get one step closer realizing the cement shoes for Sam when they kill his partner and he begins massacring the mobsters in a bloody rage. Needless to say, lots of people die.
