Set to release on October 11, 2024, The Silent Hour is an American crime thriller that explores the intense dynamics between a hearing-impaired detective and a deaf murder witness. Directed by Brad Anderson and written by Dan Hall, the film stars Joel Kinnaman as Detective Frank Shaw, who suffers from hearing loss following an on-duty accident. His struggle to adapt to this new reality forms the backbone of the story.
In the film, Frank is reluctantly pulled back into action by his partner Doug Slater, played by Mark Strong. They must protect Ava Fremont, portrayed by Sandra Mae Frank, a deaf witness caught in a perilous situation involving corrupt police officers led by Mekhi Phifer’s character, Lynch. The plot unfolds within a dilapidated Boston apartment complex, where Frank and Ava find themselves cornered by those intent on silencing her testimony. This high-stakes scenario not only tests their survival skills but also deepens their bond as they navigate their unique challenges together.
Produced by Eric Paquette, The Silent Hour was filmed in various locations including Malta and Toronto. The film’s cinematography is handled by Daniel Aranyó, while Anton Sanko provides the score. Sanko’s music aims to enhance the emotional weight of the film, particularly as it highlights the characters’ struggles and resilience.
