The Quiet One

There are no words to describe how bad this film is but I'll try. Badly acted, the characters are very, very unconvincing and the whole plotline and story are just too terrible for words. Avoid like the plague. If I could give a zero rating, I would. The worst character is the gangster's son who is the least convincing of an unconvincing bunch, the production is terrible (watch out for the old fella who has a pint given to him, but a quarter of it is gone on his first sip but then, miraculously, turns into a full pint as the camera pans away). It's 90 minutes or so of my life I'll never get back.

Highly watchable film about a man coming back to his old patch to take over a problem infested pub. He then comes up against local gangster with a hooligan son attempting to gain control of the Pub. The Quiet One attempts successfully to restore law and order in the Pub, making it as intended the focal point of the local community. Considering it was made on a very small budget 6K it is a decent British effort featuring the versatile actor/writer/producer George McCluskey a Coventry local man who has made many contributions to the British Film Industry, also winning several film awards for this one.

Mysterious stranger takes over tough inner city pub After one week and throwing out one group of ineffectual louts , the locals all love him, the mid 30s single mother barmaid and her pals all fall for him even though he looks in his 60s, romance and bad acting follow , he's supposed to be a former tough guy but he doesn't give off any latent threat The characters are one dimensional apart from the girl who plays the barmaids daughter, good young actress Sound terrible Soundtrack from someone's Mates band So predictable.

It had the makings of a good story but so many aspects made it unwatchable.

This is genuinely the worst acting I have ever seen in my life ! I can not get across how bad the acting really is. Genuinely the worst film I think thats ever been made, it might be low budget but it's honestly embarrassing for everyone involved !

The sound is all over the place, the plot is beyond poor, the music is shocking, surely the makers of this utter rubbish can't of been happy with the final cut. I think you could get a bunch of completely random strangers off the street the do a better job than this. It's unbelievable how this film actually got onto amazon, if I could give this minus points I would.

I've always wondered what the worst film I'd seen would be. It's The Quiet One! Ridiculous screenplay and script - just not thought through. Acting?! Well some professional and experienced actors would certainly have helped. Inept direction, obvious from the poor attempt to make things work in the edit. There was no sound dub so the audio is all over the place. In fact in some scenes it's difficult to hear what folk are saying. No grading obviously and the aperture and colour balance are well below the industry's standards. I note no tripods were used and though the hand-held is passable a proper DoP should have been employed. Why it's on Prime amazes me. Worth seeing if one must to experience the lowest of standards.
