Netflix Thriller The Whisper Man Divides Fans and Critics

Netflix has a new hit on its hands with the release of The Whisper Man. Since arriving on the streaming service on August 28, the crime thriller has climbed to the number one spot. The movie adapts the popular novel by Alex North and tells the story of Tom Kennedy, a widowed writer whose young son is suddenly abducted.

The film features a big name cast including Robert De Niro, Adam Scott, and Michelle Monaghan. With such talent on screen, many fans expected a home run. However, the early feedback from subscribers is quite mixed. While some appreciate the tense premise, others feel the execution does not quite live up to the original book.

Whether you love it or find it disappointing, the movie is certainly making waves online. It remains to be seen if the film will maintain its top spot as more people watch it over the coming weeks.
