OMO At The Movies: "The Night Listener"

So, I was going to say something about "The Night Listener" wasn't I?

Ok, "The Night Listener"; don't bother. I mean, it's an Ok film, but just felt rather flat. The whole 'twist' in the story felt very under-done, it wasn't thrilling, it wasn't creepy, and it wasn't a great character study. Toni Collette was pretty good, but on the whole the characters needed fleshing-out more. Robin Williams aimed for "confused and pertubed" but hit "plain bored looking". The Boyf has read the book and said it has far more atmosphere. I'd say if you want to see it then wait for the DVD; there's no reason to see it on the big screen.
