Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

adonis98-743-186503 In the midst of his crumbling relationship, a radio show host begins speaking to his biggest fan, a young boy, via the telephone. But when questions about the boy's identity come up, the host's life is thrown into chaos. The late Robin Williams was a fantastic and incredible actor but 'The Night Listener' gives him little to do and offers even more little to it's viewers and despite a great Cast the film is super slow and the story wasn't that interesting either. Overall a big disappointment. (0/10)

zkonedog What if the person you were talking to on the phone really wasn't who you thought he was? That is the premise behind The Night Listener, based on a phone conversation between a radio show host and a young boy whose existence could never be proved. Unfortunately, in this case the true life events were likely more compelling than this bland adaptation.For a basic plot summer, "Night Listener" tells the store of a radio talk show host (played by Robin Williams) who takes a liking to a young boy supposedly dying from a terrible disease. However, as the relationship builds, "Williams" has reason to believe that the boy may not be who he says he is (or even exist at all), thus leading to a personal investigation to find out the truth.Now, had the film actually stuck to that basic plot line, it might have been a halfways decent thriller. Instead, for whatever reason, it focuses far too much on the personal demons of "Williams" (e.g. his character's homosexuality really doesn't add anything to the film, yet is explored in great detail). Also, the relationship between "Williams" and the mystery boy in question's mother is ultimately crucial to understanding the film's conclusion, but is again too much about HIS perspective, not HERS. Like I said, more focus on the mystery at hand would have made for a more compelling experience.Thus, I think a 1.5-star rating perfectly pegs this movie, as it was only good enough to make you want to see how things turn out in the end, not so much caring about the journey to get to that point. Also, it comes nowhere close to, say, "One Hour Photo" in terms of establishing Williams as a serious actor and not just a manic comedian.

LeonLouisRicci One of those Small, mostly Ignored, B-Movies that Come and Go at a regular clip. There Here, little seen, and Gone. But Thanks to a Modern Platform of many Delivery Systems, unlike in Olden Times, Movie Lovers can Thank Video, Cable, and now Streaming to Catch the Ones that Got Away.Robin Williams is the Central Character in this Suspenser. A Gay Professional Man who Stumbles Upon a Story of a 14 Year Old Boy who was Abused and Contracted AIDS and is Dying, wrote His Story in a Book, and Williams becomes Empathetic and Reaches Out, with a Big Heart, to Comfort during the Kids Final Days.Trouble is, He soon Discovers, with some Prompting from others, that the Kid's Story may be a Hoax. If that's Not Disturbing Enough the Fabrication, if there Was a Fabrication, might have been Perpetrated by a very Disturbed Blind Woman. So Williams travels to Find the Truth. What unfolds is a Creepy, Scary, and Frustrating Journey that will have Audiences Shivering and Unsettled. The Film is, Well Acted (Especially by Toni Collette) and is an Undiscovered Gem that is Restrained and Gripping.It is an Against the Grain Type of Adult Psychological Horror that has Moments of Terror and is so Tense it might cause Breathless, Inaudible Screams, from Sensitive Types. The Movie is Relentless and gains Maniacal Momentum as each Scene Unfolds. The Ending comes to You from…..."The Twilight Zone".

Jackson Booth-Millard I personally like Robin Williams, and will watch almost anything with him in it, that was obviously the case here, I didn't know what to expect. Basically late night radio host Gabriel No one (Williams) has his male lover needing space, so while he is gone he likes to talk to the young writer of a new manuscript, fourteen-year-old Pete D. Logand (Signs' Rory Culkin). Pete is very ill, and the only contact Gabriel has with him is through his blind adoptive mother Donna D. Logand (Toni Collette), but this relationship is very unsettling without Peter himself on the phone. Gabriel becomes suspicious of Donna, so he goes to find and confront Donna and Peter, and this is unsuccessful, we are wondering if Peter even really existed. Also starring Bobby Cannavale as Jess, Terminator 2's Joe Morton as Ashe, John Cullum as Pap No one and Bean's Sandra Oh as Anna. The story doesn't make all that much sense, and to be honest it isn't interesting enough for you to care about, even being based on real events. Adequate!
