After reviewing over 400 films, I have reached the point where bad really stands out, and "Silent Fall" is really bad. It totally wastes three good actors, Richard Dreyfuss, J.T. Walsh, and John Lithgow, while Linda Hamilton and Liv Tyler are downright forgettable. The script is such contrived nonsense, that the phrase beyond ridiculous comes to mind. The movie spends most of it's time setting up some unbelievably contrived scenes, like the one in the outdoor restaurant. It's really a shame that fine actors have to be trapped in such a horrendous script, that is devoid of any entertainment value. Believe me when I tell you that "Silent Fall" is bad !!!!!!! - MERK
