Silent Hours

This movie is not very good and the main character is an intensely unlikeable, misogynistic sex pest with no redeeming qualities to balance it out. The sex scenes were truly dreadful and painful to endure. Watching this film made me angry, but I persevered until the bitter end. I'm nothing if not tenacious.

Friends of mine watched this and loved it. I watched it on their recommendation just to be polite. I wanted to turn it off after the first sex scene because I felt like this was a B movie using porn actors to flesh it out, no pun intended.

The acting is appalling. The script is laughable. You know that when the lead actor touches blood on a dead body and then wipes it all over the front of his sweater things are only going to get worse... And they did.

As others here have mentioned it is so old fashioned. I mean I hate all these WOKE/PC for the sake of it movies but this is offensive. Utter amateur night dross. And now I have to go away and think of a way of telling me friends what I thought about this turkey without hurting their feelings!

For those who have reported about the length of this TV movie, this was a TV series of 3 episodes first shown in 2017, turned into one movie.

Actually, I think that it works better as three separate episodes. And, you will not guess the ending.

If you have 2 1/2 hours for a who done it flick, I would recommend this movie. It is not a fast pace movie, nor are there any big explosions etc. Keeps you guessing..... you gotta pay attention though. There are a number of hot & heavy sex scenes, I would say its a R rated movie. But it describes it as a TV movie... surely not here in the USA.

I give it a 6-6.5 stars.

James Weber Brown is an ex naval officer with issues, and now a Private Eye with a penchant for a rough sex. When various women he has bedded turn up murdered and mutilated, the police suspect him and he has to find the real killer.

Once a 3 part TV series and it shows with the first third really badly constructed and with a poor script. It does settle into relative adequacy towards the end if you can believe the fast and furious twists and turns, but overall pretty lame stuff exacerbated by a daft, unbelievable central performance by Weber Brown playing a completely unsympathetic, wooden character who women seem to adore despite the fact he is a total zombie. One or two nuggets, but mostly dire.
