About this movie

Academy Award® winner Robin Williams (Best Supporting Actor, Good Will Hunting, 1998) is unforgettable in a riveting, critically acclaimed psychological thriller based on true events. Gabriel Noone (Williams), a celebrated writer and late-night talk show host, becomes captivated by the harrowing story of a young listener and his adoptive mother (Toni Collette, TV's United States of Tara). When troubling questions arise about the boy's identity, however, Noone finds himself drawn into a widening mystery that hides a deadly secret! Also starring Sandra Oh (TV'sGrey's Anatomy) and Rory Culkin (Scream 4), and based on the best-selling novel by Armistead Maupin, The Night Listener delivers unpredictable twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Is this the best serious Robin Williams movie ever? No but you cant blame him for the slow pace of the movie. The plot and dialogue are interesting and intriguing but the intrigue is superseded by the crawling nature of the scenes. I found the movie relatively entertaining because I like Robin Williams. However if your not one of his biggest fans you may not enjoy this as well as me. One merit this movie has is its music which does a great job at setting the tone of the movie and adding mystery, from the music you know something is going to happen. But what?
