Movie Review

Grade: B- Hotties Camilla Belle (The Ballad of Jack and Rose) and Elisha Cuthbert ("24", House of Wax) star in The Quiet, a movie that was ravaged by critics but is a surprisingly decent, if not slightly slow, drama-thriller. Yes, Belle and Cuthbert are pleasant to look at, but they alone can't save a movie from sucking big time, and thankfully, The Quiet is not that film. Solid performances and an oddly creepy story combine to make The Quiet one of the more underappreciated films of 2006. Then again, it isn't wonderful, either.
