NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Zeeshan Mahmud Loved it! ...Even after I re-watched it third time. Obviously they don't give Oscars for this type of genre, but if a person were to receive one without even making a single appearance in the film then it'd be TheCaller...just for his voice acting which held his weight and tremendous personality.

Kyle Perez Phone Booth is a movie that will keep you glued to your seat from start to finish. The premise of this film is a slick media consultant in New York City finds himself trapped in a phone booth by an extortionist's sniper rifle; seems fairly straightforward. However, it is the enthralling story, superb acting and exceptional camera work that give the viewer an intense, worthwhile experience. This is seriously entertainment at its best.Farrell gives a fantastically convincing performance as a sleazy, New York publicist who bears some semblance to a young Ari Gold. I have always found that this man is painfully underrated and this film really shows off his versatility in a complete starring role. Everything from the thick New York accent to the devolution of his character seemed very natural and perfectly delivered. Kiefer Sutherland, providing the voice of the sniper, delivers a daunting performance. With merely his voice, he displays an intelligent, darkly comical and foreboding presence that makes the movie work. Forest Whitaker also gives a standout performance in his supporting role as captain of the task force.Joel Schumacher uses smart camera techniques, whether it being the use of split screens or fast cuts, to cultivate an atmosphere of sheer intensity and anticipation. It can be difficult to string along a story which takes place in mostly one setting, but the pace seems to never let up from start to finish. The director, editors and anyone else involved in the visual cutting of this film deserve a lot of praise. Phone Booth is creative, entertaining and ultra suspenseful. Pick up this call.

atsharim Overall I felt that Phone Booth left me wanting just a little bit more. The thing that really drives this film forward is its suspense. The constant suspense of wondering how the situation will play out. Collin Farrell gave a solid performance and was very believable. It must be hard acting on a phone when no one is on the other end.Every one in this film was solid except for the black guy with the weird eye, I could not stop watching his eye and destracted me the whole time. The twist ending was predictable and could be seen from a mile away. I only wish that the shooter had shot more people to keep the story more interesting.Also the hookers looked gross, could they not have got better looking chicks?

Python Hyena Phone Booth (2002): Dir: Joel Schumacher / Cast: Colin Farrell, Forest Whitaker, Radha Mitchell, Katie Holmes, Kiefer Sutherland: Thriller about isolation and confrontation. It stars Colin Farrell as a business man who lies to clients to excel until one day he picks up the receiver of a pay phone and informed that if he hangs up, the gun aimed in his direction will fire. He sees it as a bad joke until details are given regarding his affair to another client unknown to his wife. To complicate matters the caller contacts this client to inform her that Farrell is in fact, married. After a fatal incident, the police arrive on the scene. Interesting setup descends into a series of episodes between Farrell and the police, and Farrell and the caller. Conclusion is clever and director Joel Schumacher makes great use of a limited location. Farrell gives an exhausting sense of energy as an individual whose closet full of skeletons is about to be revealed but not without some redemption. Forest Whitaker does well as police chief in what could have been a mere standard role but he plays it out realistically. Radha Mitchell plays Ferrell's wife who receives a confession. Katie Holmes plays the client who will learn who Farrell is and her bad position. The voice on the phone belongs to Kiefer Sutherland but perhaps a little screen time would have played out more effectively. Strong theme regarding attitudes that eventually entrap us. Score: 7 ½ / 10
