Review of Phone Booth (DVD)

Panic if your in the same room as this movie

Advantages: None, its staggeringly bad
Disadvantages: Too many plotholes and mistakes

...in the room outside the panic room door), a diabetic child using an antique hypo (she'd use a spring loaded one, these are designed for kids!) also she's a diabetic who doesn't carry chocolate and her mother doesn't either? I think not! The fact that the diabetic idea is introduced so LATE in the film, prior to that most of us would have thought they just keep checking her watch to see how long it takes the police to come, 911 put her on hold? Please, ...
...to be a builder of panic rooms, I think he's just an assistant, or even an assistant to an assistant as revealed by his constant lack of knowledge and mistakes. Why Meg didn't indicate to the police like they asked her is beyond me, the villains wouldn't have seen her make any sign, she had her back to them. Poor film, poorly planned and scripted. Foster and Whittaker should have avoided this. Director of film, be ashamed of this poor excuse for ...

Disadvantages: Acting not great in places

Story In Salamanca, Spain, the President of the USA is about to give his speech to a large crowd of people. But as he approaches the podium, opens out his arms in a proud gesture to the spectators and prepares to speak, a shot is fired at him. As he goes down and his bodyguards rush to his aid some other sinister things are going on around him. Then there is an explosion, and then another one. The place is in chaos, so how can anyone see what is ...
...events several times, from the perspectives of different people present on that day, and each time a little more information is added, giving clues to what really happened. But will all the clues be pulled together in time to catch the person or people behind this event? I remember seeing the advertisements for this film, and had it not been for the fact at the time I didn't have the time, I would have been very keen to see it in the cinema, because ...

Review of Vantage Point

Who is the Street King in all of this?

Advantages: Great cop thriller
Disadvantages: Some strange, unanswered questions and unclosed plot lines

...star cast come together for Street Kings, a fast paced thriller involving the elements of police corruption and another dark role for Reeves. As the actor gets older, he seems more at home in this format, and I was thoroughly impressed by his portrayal of a hard-nosed cop with a mean streak and a slightly corrupt nature here on the streets of LA. The film opens with Reeves' character, Tom Ludlow, on the hunt to find a pair of missing girls. We are ...
...left to die on the street by the man she was having an affair with. He seems on a self-destruct mission, and spends the entire film wrestling with his morals as an incident with his ex-partner ends in a fatal shooting. Unwilling to be placed at the scene, his unit concoct a story and attempt a coverup, while Ludlow goes AWOL and attempts to find the killers and avoid the inevitable accusing finger coming his way. As he digs and delves, it is clear ...
