“Well, I certainly wasnu0026#39;t expecting this; Chuck Norris in a genuinely good film.This is one of the better ones though. There isnu0026#39;t much in the way of martial arts, but thereu0026#39;s a great one man army style finale.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s more of a cop thriller, which has a genuinely good story and a damn good cast to boot. Youu0026#39;ve got the legendary Denis Farina and Henry Silva, who can never, ever play a good guy; he just looks evil all the time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI love stories about corrupt cops; thereu0026#39;s something that really grabs you emotionally because you get so angry that even u0026quot;heroesu0026quot; can be corrupted. Not our Chuck though, who ends up alienating himself from the force because he wants to bring down one of his own.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCode of Silence is a gritty, old-school cop thriller kinda like Dirty Harry and itu0026#39;s one of Chucku0026#39;s more serious roles and he is actually pretty damn good in it too. Its a little slow in the first half and isnu0026#39;t constant action, but it is really tense in places and doesnu0026#39;t skimp on the violence either.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI would have given it a higher score if there was more martial arts in the film. But overall, if youu0026#39;re a Chuck Norris fan then give Code of Silence a watch. Itu0026#39;s definitely one of his better films. 8 out of 10”
