Character study with SciFi Trappings…
“Listening” is a character study that is driven by a sci-fi plot line and is dragged down by unpleasant characters and some confusion. The story involves David and Ryan, two graduate students who are working on creating a device that allows mental telepathy. Instead of explaining this to their professor and working on this potentially historical invention as their thesis with the full backing of the university, they decide – for reasons never explained – to steal a bunch of equipment and hole up in the garage of David’s house that he rents with his wife and daughter.

One day, Ryan brings over Jordan, a smoking hot girl he picked up who just also happens to be a brilliant scientific grad student as well. With her assistance, they make a huge breakthrough. However, the amount of time they spend working on the device causes problems with their personal lives and the invention itself has caught the eye of the CIA…

Make no mistake — “Listening” is not a horror film, it’s not really a sci-fi film, it’s not really a “warning” film about “Would you want telepathy?” It is about David and Ryan, and everything else is just the conflict these two have to face. But this one fails because of that. The two characters are eminently unlikable, and they make incomprehensible choices and decisions at every single step. Huge questions are put forth and never answered. For example, Jordan has an ability that seems to violate every rule, and when she is asked about this incredibly valuable skill, she dismisses the question and it’s never brought up again. It’s never explained why the CIA would be so interested, since the covert government program seems to be something very different from what David and Ryan are doing.

The acting is solid, the directing and photography is clean and professional, but I just can’t say I enjoyed it enough to recommend. Perhaps that’s because I was drawn in by the marketing campaign promising a sci-fi extravaganza.

IMDb Shills have finally found a way to fake 1000+ reviews
I didn’t think it was possible. Until I saw this film…I’d foolishly thought that I figured out a way to vet the fake reviews from IMDb. If you see a suspiciously high rating on an unknown film with unknown actors on a meagre budget, then the first thing I’d do is see the number of reviewers. If it was 300 or less, chances are that the reviews were artificially inflated by the actors’ families, cast, crew, etc…. Well lo and behold……this may not have had a 9 rating, but high enough to pique my interest, and had more than 1,000 reviews. So I figured it was one of those “diamond in the rough” indie films which somehow slipped underneath my radar. How wrong I was!

You know how sometimes you can just tell a film is going to be horrible after just watching the first few minutes of it? Well this was no exception. Wooden acting, stilted dialogue, meandering plot… “but,” I said to myself “the IMDb rating is decent, so I have to give it a try!”. Famous last words. Watching more of this drivel did nothing more but to increase my irritation and headache…. honestly, what was the purpose of those color-filters anyhow…I felt that whilst watching some scenes, I was taking a colour-blindness test. It’s the whole cinematographic affectation bit where the filmmakers randomly add filters in order to add a veneer of sophistication over what amounts to (at the end of the day) footage that is no grander than that taken by your nan during a holiday in Barcelona!

Full disclosure: I couldn’t force myself to watch all of this film… once they started on the whole derivative x-files “the government is now chasing us” part of the plot, I had to give up. Perhaps I may have had more stamina if the acting was on par and the story a bit more interesting and cogent. But alas… t’was not to be.

So back to my original point…No way in Hades did this film legitimately get a 5.6 review out of almost 2,000 alleged voters. Just look at the evidence: there are only a handful of actual reviews on this post (and if you strip away the obvious shill reviews, I think there are only three or four genuine ones).

So I guess that this is what it’s come to now…..some ingenious computer whizzes now have the ability to create inflated scores which are derived from supposedly 2000 voters when it’s quite clear that not that many people have probably even seen the film! That really irks me……..as I hate nothing more than people who waste my time. That is why, despite me being a member here for many years, this is probably my first or second review that I’ve posted. This is how strongly I feel about it, and just want to warn others who are looking for a genuine review!
