10 Terrible Films That Spectre Actors Want You To Forget

By Phil Archbold /

1. Listening (2014) - Andrew Scott

Rotten Tomatoes: 30% The Plot: In this science fiction drama written, directed and produced by newcomer Khalil Sullins, a team of genius grad students invent something that will make them both rich and famous €“ mind reading technology. What they couldn€™t predict was the effects that such a machine would have on their lives and the world as they know it. Why It Sucks: It€™s never easy to make a good indie-feel sci-fi (though it can be done, as the brilliant Ex Machina proved this year) and Listening makes a hash of it from the word go. It starts out almost as a character study - which might have benefited Andrew Scott had it continued in this vein, to be honest - before clumsily moving into science fiction territory, and ends with you feeling as though there wasn€™t enough story there for a feature film. The film does have its moments where you can€™t help but laugh, though I don€™t think that was the director€™s intention. It€™s a good job mind reading technology doesn€™t exist, because Sullins wouldn€™t have wanted to know what I was thinking as I credits began to roll, that€™s for sure.
