Customer Reviews of The Silent Partner
That Fish Tank Scene is Gross! I saw this in the theater when I was a kid and it was the first violent movie I had ever seen. Okay the movie did have some good scenes but what sticks out in my memory the most is a very graphic violent scene involving a glass fish tank that was very disturbing and gory and I have to agree with the reviewer who said that this wasn't a good movie for kids. I really do like the actors though, especially Elliott Gould and I also like Christopher Plummer who is in The Sound Of Music, one of my favorite movies. If I ever watch this movie again I could definitely enjoy the scenes I liked but would have to close my eyes during that fish tank scene!
Okay, gang. Let's get this out on DVD.
Seeing this movie when originally released, I remember the energy, the suspense, at how things were going to turn out. Christopher Plummer is the baddest of bad guys here (you'll never be able to view "The Sound of Music" the same way again). Elliot Gould is terrific, especially as we watch his character go from being in over his head to in control.
Note: this was penned by Curtis Hanson, who brought us "L.A. Confidential".
Fans should also note a small, but distinctive part played by a then almost-unknown John Candy.
This is one film that desperately needs full DVD treatment. If anyone knows where to lobby...
Rooting for a Thief?
"The Silent Partner" is one of those rare films I have enjoyed watching over and over again. Every clever detail adds to the suspense and enjoyment of this truly under-rated film. Elliot Gould is excellent in his portrayal of bank teller Miles Cullen. The viewer actually finds himself rooting for Cullen, who is not only a thief, but is stealing from his own employer! And Christopher Plummer is deliciously wicked as Cullen's twisted, off-centered "Partner", who will do anything to settle the score. The scene where he talks to Cullen through the mail slot is worth the price of admission alone...
