WEBVTT - The Whisper Man

0:00:00.180 --> 0:00:04.210
<v Speaker 1>Hello and welcome. This is Now Streaming with Jordan. If

0:00:04.290 --> 0:00:08.590
<v Speaker 1>you're lonely, sad, and blue, The Whisper Man will come

0:00:08.630 --> 0:00:11.670
<v Speaker 1>for you. Netflix opens up with a major film called

0:00:11.750 --> 0:00:14.550
<v Speaker 1>The Whisper Man, a story of a serial killer who

0:00:14.630 --> 0:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>murdered children captured decades ago by a now-retired cop played

0:00:17.980 --> 0:00:20.740
<v Speaker 1>by Robert De Niro. It appears The Whisper Man, with

0:00:20.780 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>a creepy portrayal by Michael Keaton, has an admirer, someone

0:00:24.340 --> 0:00:27.450
<v Speaker 1>who's following in his footsteps, kidnapping and murdering young boys

0:00:27.490 --> 0:00:30.580
<v Speaker 1>in a fictional town. Enter novelist Tom Kennedy, played by

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.100
<v Speaker 1>Adam Scott, whose own son is taken by the new

0:00:33.140 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Whisper Man, and Scott just happens to be the son

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.880
<v Speaker 1>of De Niro's detective. A psycho thriller reminiscent of films

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.650
<v Speaker 1>from the 90s, with all the clichés and setups, I

0:00:41.690 --> 0:00:45.330
<v Speaker 1>telescoped the entire movie after about 15 minutes, predicting who

0:00:45.370 --> 0:00:48.170
<v Speaker 1>the killer is and how he might meet his end. Still,

0:00:48.190 --> 0:00:50.890
<v Speaker 1>there are some nice touches and reveals, and the solid

0:00:50.930 --> 0:00:54.700
<v Speaker 1>cast featuring 83-year-old Robert De Niro makes this palatable. The

0:00:54.740 --> 0:00:57.340
<v Speaker 1>Whisper Man, now on Netflix. And that's now streaming with

0:00:57.350 --> 0:00:59.420
