Godsend (2004)
a hair raising whisper-fest cell phone commercial
Not a waste of money -- but it has got to be the quietest movie i have ever seen. Either my ears were stopped up or it was recorded at whisper levels -- and I believe the latter. As you will also see, the first two-thirds of the movie you keep getting the feeling that the main characters all need to run out and get cell phones because nobody seems able to contact each other when it is needed -- badly needed. Surprise, surprise, a main character pulls a cell phone out of his pocket and uses it at the end of the movie. Did he forget about it? Did he buy it when we weren't looking? Did the director say "You need to contact your wife in this scene" and realize that he was in his car -- "here use my cell phone for this one shot". Never mind those other 20 moments prior when it would have been nice to be able to call and warn someone or call about their safety. Those moments were suspenseful, this scene is almost at the end -- "Let's wrap it up".
