‘The Whisper Man’ Review: Netflix’s Above Average Serial Killer Thriller Channels the ’90s

Netflix presents The Whisper Man, a moody serial killer thriller directed by James Ashcroft and based on Alex North's bestseller. The film features a high-profile cast including Robert De Niro, Adam Scott, Michelle Monaghan, and Michael Keaton. Set in small-town New Jersey, the plot centers on a series of abductions involving young boys. This crime drama channels 1990s airport novel aesthetics, delivering a twisty procedural experience that avoids the typical pacing issues of limited-series adaptations.
