I was truly looking forward to Netflix's take on The Whisper Man, but even huge stars like DeNiro and Scott can't save this slow and boring new thriller movie. It's one of my biggest disappointments of the year.

Pros

  • +Great cast, the performances are the strongest part about this movie

Cons

  • -A slow burn to the point it drags and feels boring
