Silent Rage Audience Reviews

Wordiezett So much average
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
ApeLieUproar I caught the last hour or so of this, so no comment on the film as a whole. I remember seeing it when I was younger but I don't remember a lick.Anyway, the film builds up to the confrontation between the un-killable killer and the kung fu fighting sheriff-with the revenant killer murdering a bunch of people and the sheriff trying to figure out what's going on-but then fizzles out. Chuck Norris, who plays the sheriff and the killer (played by an actor you may who you may recognize if you've seen 'The Shawshank Redemption') fight a bit, with Norris kicking the killer in the face a good many times. Predictably, none of this fazes the killer much so the sheriff's solution to the problem is throwing his opponent down a well. After seeing the mute murderer survive several bullet wounds to the torso and an explosion in a truck, why did he think throwing him down a well would finish him off? It's possibly the lamest ending to a movie ever.
Harry Lags Before action icons Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal tore up the screen there was Chuck Norris. Silent Rage is a 1982 action/science fiction/horror movie starring Chuck Norris, Ron Silver and William Finley. Dan Stevens (Norris) is the sheriff of a small Texas town who checks out a disturbance which turns to murder.The killer attempts to flee, but is shot and killed and is taken to a medical institute. Three doctors operate on the mystery figure and bring him back to life using a formula that they have concocted. The resurrected man is seemingly indestructible and it's up to Sheriff Dan Stevens to try and stop him…Silent Rage is quite a violent 80's action film with some good fighting scenes. Actually there are only 2 or 3 fight scenes but they are quite good."Whatever quibbles I have with Silent Rage, there is no denying that this is one entertaining flick. How many slasher movies feature Chuck Norris Kung Fuing his way through, fighting with some Wolverine healing lunatic.. You don't see that stuff every day, folks." Harry Lags, Overall 8 out of 10
videorama-759-859391 One of the better Chuck Norris movies, and there's not many. Here, a spin is put on the story which a loved. There's a psychopathic killer out there. He's shot down and killed. Three gifted specialists, do the unthinkable, when injecting the corpse with a serum that brings the nutter back to life, so red haired Chuck, sporting that moustache, has his work cut out for him, as the indestructible psychopathic force, escapes the medical facility. Silent Rage is really good and compact movie making that I like, thanks to it's story. Furst's performance is appealing as Chuck's overweight and bumbling partner, and also that of a younger Ron Silver who opened Pandoras's box, conducting an experiment that should of never happened. We have a nice little romantic montage too, and again, Chuck does what he does best, and it isn't acting. One set up scene of action in a bar, I liked, with Chuck kicking some redneck bikers's asses, another memorable Chuckie moment. With these films about indestructible forces, The Night Stalker, another one to springs to mind, you really want to believe the unbelievable, where even for the hero, we're uncertain, where the fight has never been stronger, as the odds almost seem unbeatable or with a small survival rate. These films, I really find exciting and this is just another example.
Coventry Chuck Norris is one of the absolute last people you would expect to find in a typical early 80's slasher movie, and yet "Silent Rage" has a lot more in common with those movies than with your usual Norris martial arts vehicle. The idea is actually rather good: instead of an endless army of disposable bad guys, Chucky is only up against one virtually indestructible psychopathic killer. And, simply to satisfy the die-hard Norris fanatics who rent movies without ever reading the plot synopsis on the back of the VHS, there are nevertheless also a couple of sequences where Chuck Norris single-handedly pulverizes a whole gang of Hell's Angels bikers. "Silent Rage" opens very atmospherically, with a mentally unstable individual axe-murdering two people before getting shot to pieces by Sheriff Chuck Norris' deputies. Whilst the Sheriff is sleeping with the doctor's sexy sister, a trio of amateur Frankensteins revive the maniacal killer and add a little option that makes him indestructible. He naturally escapes and goes on a bloody killing spree in Sheriff Dan Stevens beloved little Texas town. As mentioned at the beginning from the review, "Silent Rage" bears a lot of resemblance with the better slasher movies from the early late 70's and early 80's; particularly the original "Halloween" and its direct sequel "Halloween II". The small town setting is almost identical to Haddonfield and emotionless killing machine John Kirby could easily have been Michael Myers' distant cousin. A large part of the film also takes place within hospital walls, like "Halloween II", and there are a couple of suspenseful and slow-brooding stalk sequences. Inevitably though, since the plot is so ridiculously simplistic, there are also quite a lot of irrelevant sub plots and padding footage, like the aforementioned clash with bikers, a horrible "we fall in love" montage and a pathetic role for Stephen Furst as the fat and clumsy comic relief deputy. Chuck is awesome, Steven Keats and William Finley are impressive as the two evil doctors and Brian Libby is perfect as the silent but ultra-violent killer. Good entertainment for both fans of action and thriller.
