Set against the backdrop of a mythic "New West,"
Silver City follows grammatically-challenged, "user-friendly" candidate Dicky Pilager (
Chris Cooper), scapegrace scion of Colorado's venerable Senator Jud Pilager (Michael Murphy), during his gubernatorial campaign.
When Pilager finds that he's reeled in a corpse during the taping of an environmental political ad, his ferocious campaign manager, Chuck Raven (
Richard Dreyfuss), hires former idealistic journalist turned rumpled private detective Danny O'Brien (
Danny Huston) to investigate potential links between the corpse and the Pilager family's enemies. In the tradition of the great films noir, Danny's investigation pulls him deeper and deeper into a complex web of influence and corruption, involving high stakes lobbyists, media conglomerates, environmental plunderers, and undocumented migrant workers.
good silver citi i like your screens.
Best part of the movie? Chris Cooper. He is one of our greatest actors. I have seen him in a number of movies. He is brilliant. Even in this movie - which `outbushes` President Bush - he rises about the script.
I believe this movie was poorly acted, very boring and a waste of the viewer`s precious time. In a nutshell it was rubbish.
