VHS Movie Reviews of Silent Partner (1978) [VHS]

Movie Review: Don't Miss This One!
Summary: 5 Stars

I remember seeing this when it first came out and being blown away by the plot and the performances of Elliot Gould and Christopher Plummer. The scene where Christopher Plummer talks through the mail slot still gives me chills! (This ain't no Sound of Music feel-good scene!)And it is still fun to see John Candy in his early years as an actor. This movie would be great to re-make, but the original will always be a classic. The cover artwork is VERY misleading, however. Men walking with guns is not even a part of the plot- this is solely one man against one man and you can't help but root for Miles (Gould), who steals from his employer and covers up a murder! Anyway, you will not be disappointed in this one- it is truly a treasure from the past.

Movie Review: Quiet, holds up fairly well
Summary: 3 Stars

Made in 1975, this is interesting for its period decors and styles. It's a little low-watt in the energy and suspense department by today's standards. Whatever happened to Elliott Gould, you wonder? A small movie, worth a re-look.

Movie Review: BJ
Summary: 5 Stars

Very interesting movie I enjoyed it very much.
Has a twist with the bad guy forcing the good
guy to work with him.

Movie Review: One of the best thrillers done in the last 30 years
Summary: 5 Stars

Excellent. Five stars! One of the best thrillers I've seen in the last 30 years. It's difficult to find such a perfect cast like Elliot Gould, Christopher Plummer, Susannah York and Celeine Lomez, together. Impeccable direction by Daryl Duke, who paid attention to every details with a quick mind. The film has one or two terrifying scenes and one hour and 40 minutes of real thrilling, from the first appearance of Plummer in the bank in front of a surprised clerk (Gould). The intelligent bank clerk plays a cat and mouse game with a psychoytic Plummer.
Gould also plays erotic scenes with Lomez and romantic moments with York.

Movie Review: Good, But Worth Buying?
Summary: 4 Stars

An entertaining movie that I would have been happier having seen renting it. Buying it? I'm not so sure. But judging by the reviews it looks like a movie many people feel should be definitely on your shelf.

A lot of twists and turns in this highly unbeleivable but still entertaining suspense movie make it worth watching, but renting it should be enough for most. No problem. If you want to buy it I'll be selling mine soon!
