Have you ever been in a phone booth and the phone has rung? If so, did you answer it? And if you?ve not been in that situation, would you answer it? Chances are that you did or would, and it was a boring wrong number. But would you do it again after watching Phone Booth?
Phone Booth opens with the best opening credits I?ve seen in a long time. It takes the hustle and bustle of New York, throws in some lettering and splits the screen into a hundred blocks of different people talking on different phones.
Enter Stu Shephard, an arrogant, word-spinning, materialistic publicist peddling lies on his cellphone to a host of different people as he strides through New York?s hectic streets. We dislike him instantly, though .
We dislike him even more when he enters the phone booth he enters each day to call a naïve young woman he ...
Advantages: Great thriller Disadvantages: Lack of action
holds over us if it falls into the wrong hands. Telephone's can seem so harmless, but in this thrilling film it is used as a tool to threaten and scare the person on the other end of the line.
Phone Booth is thrilling from start to finish, whether it's the opening ten minutes, which is used for character development, or the rest of the movie, which is literally all action, you're going to be entertained.
I am one of the people that dislikes a slow character progression, and prefers the main action of the film to be longer than the fifteen minutes at the end of the movie. Phone Booth compliments these qualities excellently.
Another thing that while I don't dislike it, it's become so overused it's almost desensitised itself to me and the majority of the audience, and that's the high budget explosions. Sure they're nice for the trailers ...
Advantages: Excellent story line Disadvantages: none
A very tense thriller, with an excellent performance from Farrell. You just know he shouldn'tanswer that phone, but if he doesn't there'd be no film. Keither Sutherland is on fine form as the psycho who keeps Farrel on the line. He has enough menace in his voice to convince that he is scary. He knows a lot about Collin Farrel's charecter who is a shallow PR guru. Farrel has been having an affair with a woman though he hasn't actually slept with her.
The film gets good when a prostitute gets shots across from Farrell.
The police show up, and Farrell is told to come out with his hands up, as he looks as though he is the prime suspect for the prostitutes murder. The audience knows as Farrell does that the man on the phone has killed the prostitute. Its a matter of wether Whitaker can work it out. There is a little twist at the end ...
