It it hadn't been for the rather silly ending, I might have scored this film a 7, as it's generally well made. But the end...it was pretty ridiculous.
"Code of Silence" is a Chuck Norris film that is unusual in that he doesn't do that much martial arts compared to other movies I've seen him do. Instead, it's more a cop film...a bit like Dirty Harry in style...but with a bit of kicking...just a bit. The story has two main themes--a gang war which erupts because one idiot gangster arranges a hit on some rival gangsters...which occurs just before the police raid the joint. During this raid comes another plot...a cop accidentally shoots a teen and then plants a gun on him...and the police force give Norris' character the cold shoulder when he testifies against the creep.
So let's talk about the ending. Like a Van Damme or Seagal movie, Norris is ridiculous in that he takes on an entire gang in a warehouse and wins!! They have tons of weapons...and he comes with a police robotic tank!!! The whole thing really cheapens an otherwise decent cop film. Don't believe me...see it for yourself.
