Le silence ou la mort

While this film may not be award-winning fare, it does have its moments-which, coincidentally, happens each time Michael Dudikoff's face appears on the screen. The high quality of his acting ability is obvious, especially when pitted against the co-stars of this movie. His character is a professional, living in the shadows, trying to find a place in the sun. Dudikoff gives much needed realism to the role and affords this film its only saving grace.

I would definitely recommend this film, thanks mostly to Mr. Dudikoff's efforts. It's a pity the producers stopped short of hiring quality actors after enlisting his talents. It had potential. But, hey, what do I know? Check it out for yourself!

This is yet another bad movie that you should probably avoid watching. The plot could be a lot "thicker" than it actually is and would be better made as a blockbuster type movie.

The acting leaves something to be desired, though you can not quite place your finger on what it is.

This is one of those that you watch on late night TV, perhaps on USA, simply because you can not get to sleep. Watch it if you want but do not expect too much from it.

Michael Dudikoff plays against typecasting, as he is cast a cold blooded assassin who helps a framed FBI agent Jason Wells(Brennon Elliot)against his employers. Seems Dudikoff hates his job and seems to want a normal life(Indeed his girlfriend is a teacher, who he practically begs to keep seeing him.) make this an interesting feature. I saw this on HBO when this came out and thought of this as a very above average entry in the straight to video market. However the story is somewhat implausible and there are a few plot holes but generally this is involving stuff that makes this a lot harder edged than you would normally expect. Also Dudikoff and Elliot share good chemistry that develops momentum even in the smaller scenes.

I have seen much worse. This movie is a typical 'B' movie, but it does have some good plot twists near the end. Michael Dudikoff does his usual brooding, action packed, 'do the right thing' hero. The supporting cast does a good job. Worth watching!

Had not planned to watch this, it came on before I could switch channels from the one I'd just seen. Having liked Gabrielle Miller so much in "The Inspectors 2: A Shred of Evidence" with Louis Gossett, Jr., Jonathan Silverman, and Michael Madson, I decided to give it a try when I saw her name in the credits.

She was very good and so were Michael Dudikoff and the other actors. Not only was it entertaining, it also touched my heart. This is one I want to see again!
