Movie Review Summary
The Night Listener is said to be based on a true story. For me Robin Williams is always interesting to watch in anything he does, but in this film I’m wondering if he was cast correctly. He does help the mystery and the intrigue as it goes along, playing the radio show host, but perhaps there would have been more mystery by watching someone you don’t know how to read so well. The reason being that this is such a film of psychological suspense that you just want to go along with it. What is the truth behind the boy, the carer, and Gabriel’s need to believe they are who they say they are? What we get is a lot of mystery, with things not being quite as they appear, all shot in dark scenes that allow the mystery to brood.
