THE QUIET ONES MOVIE REVIEW
In August of 2008, the biggest heist in the nation of Denmark’s history went down. Though names have been changed and dramatic liberties taken, The Quiet Ones brings the robbery to life. Our story features a struggling boxer named Kasper (Gustav Giese). He’s got big plans to be the champion of the world and stand tall above all others for his gal and daughter, but a little bit of violent crime on the side has sabotaged his goals in more ways than one. Some old criminal buddies, Slimani (Reda Kateb) and Hasse (Christopher Wagelin), let Kasper in on the scoop that 20% of the nation’s Kroner is on a silver platter begging to be taken from the cash processing facility in the capital of Copenhagen. Director Frederik Louis Hviid takes a realistic approach to filming the night caper in all it’s gruelling, nail-biting details. Bradly, Kate, and Lewayne come together and lay down the differences between the realistic heist film and the fun loving “crime does pay” heist films such as Fast 5, and Oceans 11. The camerawork and eye on the tension is appreciated, but does waiting around in the dark make for an exciting caper or is going realistic not a normal choice for a reason? Kate then presents the facts behind the heist that are truly stranger than fiction. If anything, boost the stats on your foreign films intake and check out The Quiet Ones.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.
Kate Chambers (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)
Kate is a certified horror fiend and Horse Girl™. Her name isn’t short for anything. A native Austinite, she graduated with a BFA in Film Production from the University of Colorado Boulder then returned to the Lone Star State to make her home amid the cinephiles of the Alamo Drafthouse and the Austin Film Society. In her spare time, you can find her either down at the barn with her noble steed Jazz, watching as many movies as possible (often at work), cuddling with her pair of black cats and writing horror scripts, or nursing a beer in any available body of water… or doing Duolingo, where she’s currently on a 1000+ day streak.
Lewayne White (Screener Squad)
Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
