mute witness be a modest and yet very solid thriller that never really receive the attention or good comment it deserve . the film write and direct entirely by anthony waller be a tense and action pack thriller with black comedy aspect and horror influence . no pointless mumbo jumbo or endless plot twist just straight to the point mystery . mute witness handle about the vicious topic of nuff movie and be effectively set in russia . spoiler since the production cost be cheap there and a u film crew temporarily move to russia for shoot a horror film . an old hangar be use a film location . the female make up artist of the team accidentally get lock up overnight and while try to find a way out and she witness the recording of an authentic snuff movie . she catch and try to escape but and since she a mute and she can not cry for help and neither can she explain what she saw to the police properly . the girl life be in real danger now and since there a whole hidden network behind these snuff production and they do not want the witness to be alive end spoiler . mute witness contain multiple highly exit action sequence and be rather bloody . some of the mystery clue be effectively keep secret till the very end . regard the similar topic and i would say it definitely well than the more famous ` 8 mm and direct by joel schumacher and star nicolas cage . the acting in mute witness isn not great and but the leading actress ( who russian herself ) look really cute . sir alec guinness make a special appearance and too . and a very cool one and i may say . surely recommend with guarantee fun and scare .
