This actioner is set in a remote, heavily forested area in Northern California where marijuana growers raise their illegal crops and run whole communities with their terrorist tactics and wealth. The tale centers on the efforts of a fearless New York cop to free one such community from the tyranny of the pot growers. It begins with a surveyor who is leading the town's crooked sheriff to a small marijuana field he has just discovered. The surveyor is killed before he can get there. Joshua, a small boy, sees the execution and tries to get back in time to tell his parents. Unfortunately, the killers murder his family and throw him off a cliff. The boy's aunt, worried at not hearing from her family, gets suspicious and asks an old flame, NY cop Joe Dillon, to investigate. The town sheriff is not pleased by his intrusion and warns him to stay out of it. Dillon disobeys, and that is where all the action comes in.

Quiet Cool Audience Reviews

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

meren This Movie Showed up awhile ago on IFC. I just was able to find it to watch it Online again. Stars James Remar better known as being in the Cult Classic film the Warriors, and playing Dexters Step Dad in the Showtime Series Dexter. He Plays a NYC Detective. Who gets a call from his Ex and flys out West to get to the Bottom of some Trouble she feels a member of her family is in. You have a pretty decent Cast. Adam Coleman Howard who does not have a lot of acting credits but what is there is pretty cool and he has a Rather interesting Bio Page. Nick Cassavetes, Jared Martin, Chris Mulkey, Fran Ryan and Joey Sagal the Brother of Katie. These people have been in various TV shows and movies. It has a lot of action and many interesting scenes. In some instances it reminds me of Walking Tall. Its cool to look up the Credits of these actors and actresses and see where you might have noticed them before.

codeE The first time I saw this was back in high school. I rented it(I'm sure it opened in a movie theater somewhere) and watched it with some friends. We had a blast, and it became one of our go to movies when it was time to rent something. No one would ever object to it because they had never seen or heard of it before. And everyone enjoyed it (even the girls,bonus!). But that was a while ago, then to my total amazement it was on IFC. I was nervous that it would not hold up, but it did to my relief. Who ever came up with the idea of an inner city cop and a semi-feral boy teaming up to take on a drug cartel in a pseudo western set in Santa's village is a F##king genius. OK, the music did not hold up but man is it funny. There is one song that crosses the line from funny into embarrassing. I would not be surprised if its a Joey Travolta tune. Or maybe even a Joey Travolta cover tune! So if you have a thing for 80's action or 80's hair or just want to see something a bit different then its definitely worth a rent.

JessicaBrandy I do not understand the previous comments. What is everyone smoking??!! This movie was horrible, and I will mention a couple of things that made this movie the traffic accident it is.The score on this thing is atrocious! There was bad music when they should have kept quiet, and there was no music where even the bad music would have been welcomed.And that bar scene??!! Do I even have to comment??!!I give this a thumbs down and I'll even throw in a vomit bag. Watch at your own risk aaaaand be sure to remember, this was the 80's.

coverme6 Smoldering character actor James Remar stars in this nifty action movie called QUIET COOL, which can be nicknamed BULLIT ON A MOTORCYCLE. Remar plays a tough New York cop named Joe who travels to the Pacific North West to battle sadistic pot growers. With the help of a revenge-minded nature boy (Adam C. Howard), Joe brings the pot-heads down... hard!
