Critic Reviews for The Silencing
All Critics (23) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (20)
One does feel one's seen all this before.
In this stale thriller, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau plays a alcoholic hunter who tries to catch a serial killer of teen girls. Even in these troubled times, when we all hunger for escapism, this long journey to a lame ending hardly fills the bill.
Well made but essentially dull crime drama: nothing we haven't seen before.
Ultimately, The Silencing doesn't say anything much at all.
This movie forgets that the character stuff is the side dish, not the main course, and serves an insultingly under-prepared crime procedural.
It's desperately dull and predictable - down to the boring reveal at the end. It does moody and atmospheric well, but that will only take you so far. Ultimately, it's too muted for its own good.
