Tom's Guide curates three Netflix titles to stream this weekend (Aug 28–30): the Robert De Niro–led crime thriller The Whisper Man; the 2022 horror hit M3GAN about a life-like AI doll; and a third, unnamed dark psychological horror set deep in the woods, all recommended for fans of suspenseful Netflix thrills.

IndieWire’s review finds Netflix’s The Whisper Man a competent but largely familiar thriller anchored by Robert De Niro’s restrained, gravitas-filled performance as a retired cop drawn back into a cold case when his grandson goes missing; strong turns from Adam Scott and Michelle Monaghan help, but the plot relies on standard police-procedural tropes, making it more watchable than groundbreaking and earning a C+.
Robert De Niro anchors a brisk Netflix thriller, The Whisper Man, playing a grizzled Jersey detective drawn into a copycat serial-killer case that echoes a past case. Joined by Adam Scott as an anxious, grief-stricken crime writer and Michelle Monaghan as a determined detective, with Michael Keaton as the imprisoned killer Carter, the adaptation by James Ashcroft unfolds as a steady, procedural chiller rooted in father–son tension. It’s a diverting, well-acted night of chills that doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it delivers solid entertainment with a few stylish touches.
