It doesn't get boring as long as it lasts, but that's about it. Seems intended as a kind of parody of James Bond, but there's not that much to laugh about (inside jokes about the battle between Dean and Sinatra are actually funny, and will return in the sequels). Probably too little budget to offer real spectacle, which is why we have to make do with a vague and bland spy story. The gorgeous women and the familiar faces in the supporting roles make up for it somewhat. Martin himself is actually too old to play a spy here, but his charisma compensates for a lot. All in all, The Silencers is of a very average level, clearly a stepping stone to the better sequels.

Nice movie in which a special agent who is on inactive duty is called up for a special mission. Clearly a comic version of James Bond. The plot could have had a bit more attention and is not really captivating. The pace is also a bit slow. The retro look of the movie is nice, and the same goes for the gadgets (especially the reverse shooting gun). Quite entertaining and no shortage of female beauty.

Quite an entertaining bond parody with lots of female beauty and some nice finds, you shouldn't take this seriously of course and then you have a quite entertaining hour and a half.
