The Night Listener is based on true events, and it's faithful to a fault to the documented accounts. In other words, there's a good chance you'll absolutely hate how it ends, and few things are more detrimental to a deliberate, moody and often strange mystery than an ending that doesn't pay out.
If nothing in the preceding statements has scared you off, the journey if not the destination is worth the ride. Credit a collection of good performances for saving the day. Sandra Oh and Joe Morton also star.
Extras: Deleted scene, behind-the-scenes feature.
Grade: B
