Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

The ads for Code of Silence look schlocky, and Chuck Norris is still identified with a series of grade-zilch karate epics, but this is a heavy-duty thriller - a slick, energetic movie with good performances and a lot of genuine human interest. Read full review

Gene Siskel

Chuck Norris takes a big leap in his film career with Code of Silence, a solid cops 'n' drug dealers picture filmed last year in Chicago. Norris' big step is that this time he stars in a much more realistic action film, one with a credibility only slightly undone by a few of his martial arts maneuvers at the end. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Code of Silence is a predictability cacophonous cops-and-crooks yarn [by Michael Butler and Dennis Shryack] that is actually quite good for the type.

Paul Attanasio

A conventional cop thriller leavened with a tablespoon of style and a quarter-cup of garbagey fun. Read full review

Janet Maslin

Code of Silence, as directed by Andy Davis, has a slick look and adequate pacing, though its action sequences tend to fizzle as they end. Read full review

Bill Cosford

Sounds like Dirty Harry, looks like Dirty Harry, plays like Dirty Harry. The big difference is that Norris is not so mean as Eastwood, nor so interesting. Eastwood's Harry is flawed, even philosophical in his grumpy way; Norris' Sarge is just a nice guy who can kill you a hundred different ways. [06 May 1985, p.B6]

Full of incredible action scenes, explosions and great performances this violent movie delivers great entertainment and a fairly decent story. Seeing Chuck Norris on the roof of a train with a villain was a highlight of the film and so was some police robotic machine called "The Prowler" which Chuck Norris used for backup and a diversion at the end to help him take down the criminals. Full of shootouts, explosions and violence and Chuck's fighting skills I'd say Code of Silence made in 1985 isn't the best film ever but it's decent. Some of the acting is poor but saved by Chuck Norris and the great action scenes.… Expand
