If you're a fan of crime thriller movies — those heart-pumping, suspense-filled flicks that submerge you into dangerous investigations and keep you guessing until the credits roll — then you've likely heard of "The Whisper Man," Netflix's latest nail-biting addition to the genre.
The serial killer drama stars Adam Scott as a widowed crime writer who, when his own young son gets kidnapped, is forced to turn to his estranged father, retired detective Peter Willis (Robert De Niro), for help. With a cast that also includes Michelle Monaghan, Hamish Linklater, Owen Teague and Michael Keaton, the James Ashcroft-directed film quickly shot up to No. 1 on Netflix's movie charts when it arrived on the streaming service on Aug. 28.
