4/10
A psychological bent
27 January 2007
Robin Williams stars as Gabriel No one an openly gay radio host who takes an interest in a regular caller, a boy suffering from Aids contacted via rape. His former lover is highly skeptical and this sends No one on a quest to find out the truth. The film is pretty well acted, but a tad too slow, more than a tad predictable, & any ambiguity at all that might have conceivably helped the film is negated by an ending sequence that causes the entire movie to suffer. And as such I can't really recommend this film, but at the same time hesitant to call it worthless. I find it easiest when the movie I'm reviewing is either good or bad, but this is neither. Slow but well acted. Bland but vaguely interesting. Ying and yang I guess.

My Grade: C-

DVD Extras: 'the night listener revealed' featurette; and 3 minute deleted scene
