Silent Panic

Nice well assured visual style and solid acting bouy this indie movie. It looks and sounds great. (well the score is mixed a bit too loud and sometime felt like it belongs in a different movie) The set up and story is cool. Pals discover a dead body and decide not to tell the fuzz. Arguments and thrills ensue. I'm a sucker for neo-noir, but many scenes go on a bit too long. The opening Tarantino lite conversation about genesis is especially rough. That said, there are bits of gold throughout and it really picks up in the third act (which I won't spoil here) I just wish the first 2/3's had more of that same kind of energy.

The director is very good with actors, shot selection and staging. I expect we'll be seeing more from him in the future. and special props to gal playing the body. That's a tough gig.

If you dig well-put together noirs, give it a day court. The last 15 mins or so are definitely worth it.

Imagine if Hitchcock had had a go at making Chaucer's 'The Pardoner's Tale' and you'd be fairly close to knowing what to expect from 'Silent Panic'. Featuring excellent acting from the entire ensemble, this riveting thriller gets under your skin and just doesn't let go. Definitely recommended.

Pretty good movie that will hold your interest. However, the three main characters are as dumb as a box of rocks. In every situation, they make the wrong decision. They have many opportunities to help their situation but struggle to do so. It's frustrating in that sense, but still a good watch.

Did not see this one coming. A good indie flick with a great story and good acting, This film is a wonderfully told story about three guys who grapple with the dilemma of what to do when they find a body. All the characters have interesting backstories that make this decision a difficult one, The acting style is loose and it works well, feeling fresh and alive.

We found ourselves, as we watched, wondering what we would do if faced with the same circumstances. For that reason alone, worth a watch.

Excellent production value with an intriguing premise makes this indie as much a character study as it is thriller that works on both fronts.

The acting and directing is solid, and you're left wondering what you'd do in an insanely unfortunate situation. Check it out, definitely worth your time!
