The last action film you watched

Code Of Silence (1985)

A tough, individualistic cop is caught between the gangland war of two rival Hispanic crime families. Meanwhile, his new partner is struggling to cope after witnessing another cop's reckless shooting of an innocent teenager, and trying to decide whether or not to break the "code of silence" among the police by ratting him out.

Standard action fare, but still irresistible. Good writing that has some doses of humor and tough talk, plus great use of Chicago locations, and an awesome barroom brawl are some highlights. Chuck Norris was never as good an actor as other action stars, due to his lack of acting style. But with Code Of Silence he gives the Eddie Cusack role a solid no-nonsense loner type of persona. Definitely one of Chuck's best performances, if not his best.

One of my favorite scenes is when Henry Silva comes up to Norris and gleefully tells him he would love to give him a Colombian Necktie (cutting a throat and pulling the tongue out through the slit), then Norris looks straight at him and utters "Why don't you give it to me right now!" That sure wiped the smile off of Silva's face, lol!

Code Of Silence was originally conceived as a Dirty Harry sequel. But then Clint Eastwood passed on the script, so it was eventually rewritten as a Chuck Norris vehicle.
