Most helpful review Code Of Silence

  • Acclaimed film, but not my taste.

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Chuck Norris plays Eddie Cussak, a cop who gives evidence against a fellow cop who killed an unarmed teenager. In testifying Cussack has broken the code of silence.

    The film starts with a stake out of a drug gang which was a good bit of action but I found confusing as I wasn't sure who all the various groups of people were. It turns out the painters were not more of the stake out team but a rival gang. During the confusion in this first scene one of the cops killed the teenager and then planted a gun on him. When gang war breaks out after the initial incident, including kidnapping of the daughter of one of the mobsters Cussack has to sort it out alone as none of the other cops are willing to accompamy him. He is not alone however he has 'Prowler', a police robot to help him.

    The film was directed by Andrew Davis who also did Under Siege, The Fugative and Collateral Damage.

    Code of Silence is an action packed exciting cop thriller. A rough tough film on the mean streets of Chicago, where Chuck Norris is the only man who can stop a bloody gang war between the Italian mafia and Colombian drug dealers. While it's an exciting film, it also has a sense of humour to it, along with an epic dramatic film score. And while Chuck Norris battles the underworld, he also faces off against his superiors, as one of them shot an innocent civilian, putting him at odds with both the bad guys and the good guys. There's also an exciting chase on top of a train, and a cool mix of gun fighting and martial arts. There's also a great scene at the end, where Chuck Norris uses his secret weapon - a killer Wal-E police robot! It is very violent, like Cobra, and not for people who aren't into violent films, but apart from that it's a great action flick, perfect for a Friday night in with a beer! Two thumbs up - and a broken neck - hahaha!

  • How much wood would Chuck chuck...?

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Chibs from South Lanarkshire , 04 Jun 2006
    A lot, that's for sure.

    This movie is your classic righteous cop vs. corrupt system who becomes an outsider before once more winning the trust of his department through the innocent, faith and loyalty of a rookie cop movie, except that it misses out on the cliched but necessary rookie saving the day moment.

    Chuck does everything and with just a nod of newfound respect from his colleagues, he forgives them for abandoning him in his moment of need.

    It lacks the humour and emotional content of the 'Lethal Weapon' movies, the futuristic gimmick (I won't ruin it with details) is embraced by Chuck, who would usually play the outdated cop, which goes against the grain, but then he does spend the movie railing against an even more fossilised cop, so I guess he had to keep with the times in this one.

    Needless to say Harry Callahan wouldn't have put up with it.

    It's an okay movie, if you have beer...
