Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

'Silent Rage' is one peculiar film. It is not the only science-fiction martial arts horror film, but easely could be one of the finest examples of this sort of genre mash-up (at least among Hollywood productions). And it is quite different from usual Chuck Norris' vehicle.Chuck Norris stars as sheriff Dan Stevens who must stop psychotic killer John Kirby (Brian Libby) who's been turned indestructible by genetic experiments. As the film tries to play more like psychological horror there aren't much scenes where Chuck Norris can show of his martial arts skill. Though there is one scene where he single handedly empties the bar from unpleasant bikers. The biggest problem with 'Silent Rage' is the lack of charisma of its lead actor. Chuck Norris is pretty likable guy, but he seemed too wooden and lacking of charisma against the quiet psychopath Brian Libby. Not the mention those three scientist creating Kirby are played by charismatic character actors.Well, if you want to see something different from Chuck Norris, then you should check this one out. No, actually this one is must see for Chuck Norris fans.

Silent Rage is about some psychotic retard who kills his relatives and then is killed himself to only be resurrected through scientific experiment and then goes on a killing spree. I liked this one. The acting was actually okay and the idea is cheesy fun but of course seeing Chuck beating ass is always the highlight of every one of his films. My favorite scene, however, is when the killer chop this guys head after getting hit with a chair. That scene was shot in such a bad way, it was funny. Recommended if you a Chuck Norris fan.

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.
