Wordiezett So much average

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Sam Wilder Not even worth a rental. I feel for Takai to even be on this film... You actually hope that they gave him enough money to appear. The films conflict is not even worth writing on a book. To many of these films have already been put out... there is nothing here that is original... I've seen this film.. uh actually many of this film... here we go... get ready for a spoiler... regular woman... goes under surgery... all of a sudden part of a conspiracy theory... why not just hire Wil smith and Gene hackman to tell the story themselves... this has the plot of a couple of movies I've already seen... unfortunately this one is mal executed... too bad there was no money back guaranty. this is truly a C film... not even a B film... sorry but no cigar... the director should try again. I want my 3.50 back. Only reason I gave it a 2 is because I think Mr. Takai deserves at least.

Nelson Shreve How movies become keepers in my collection is they come back on me for days or weeks after I first see them. They haunt me, in other words, until I purchase a copy. Well, it took seeing Patient 14 a second time on TV to get that kind of grip. First time through I was hooked on the babe, of course, but I missed one of the main points, that noise can drive people crazy if they don't pay attention and tune out the noxious. So here's a movie about how we deal with incoming audio information, good & bad, and there's a lot of bad out there even without super hearing. When the bad guy gets a dose of his own medicine and falls down in agony over what he's hearing, it reminds me of modern day, digitally mixed audio commercials designed to carve searing paths of selective and permanent memory through our brains.

g404c Patient 14 is a pretty good movie about a woman (Lucy Jenner) who becomes deaf after a tragic circumstance. She undergoes an experiment covertly sponsored by the government to regain her hearing, and she does. The only problem is now she can hear so well that she can hear sounds no one else can including the thoughts of other people! What happens next changes her life dramatically.Jenner is very good and convincing as a newly deaf woman upset and frustrated with having just lost her hearing. John York does an excellent job as the social worker and there is fun chemistry between the two of them. Patient 14 premiered on Lifetime last night. I recommend it if you happen to see it.

J M The premise that a person could hear other peoples thoughts all the time would of course be distressing to the person involved, however, the way that it's implemented into this film is that you, the viewer, have to listen to the same constant babble of peoples thoughts while trying to work out what is being discussed in the current conversation.Trying to listen to several different voices at once and trying to understand what they are all saying makes this film a very stressful one to watch. Ideally you'd just pay attention to the main conversation but they're at a volume that makes this just not possible.To be honest, I didn't watch this film all the way through, I can't recommend it.
