Kinnaman starring in an motion thriller directed by Anderson feels like an excellent pairing to me, as I’ve been a fan of Anderson’s work ever since seeing Session 9 at a theatrical horror marathon in 2001. The set-up for The Silent Hour sounds fascinating as nicely, and paying homage to The Raid. I’m certain this “battle in a constructing” received’t be as intense or brutal as The Raid is, however right here’s hoping it’s going to nonetheless develop into one thing cool.
