Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Best movie ever!
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This was a decent film, until Colin Farrell confesses to his wife. Colin Farrell did a fine job in the movie. I blame it on the screenwriters. After he confesses to his wife to his wife of his infidelity it was down hill. And to top it off we get Kiefer Sutherland saying if he doesn't behave he'll be back, or some such nonsense. Wow, so Kiefer Sutherland is the new equalizer. He will kill people so they behave morally. Then we get a scene zooming out into space, satellite, and then a phone call, another phone booth. Maybe waiting for a sequel.Here's a suggestion. Write something intelligent. Intelligent! I know there is intelligence out there. Write it. Then produce it into a film. Not some half baked nonsense.I give this 3 stars for Colin Farrell's performance. The writing failed. All the other actors here were crap. Forest Whitaker is crap. What the hell was that sub plot with Whitaker manhandling one of his men? Katie Holmes – crap. Radha Mitchell – crap. The whores and pimp were decent, at least they were entertaining. The way the pimp went down was good.
Stuart Shepard finds himself trapped in a phone booth, pinned down by an extortionist's sniper rifle. Although he did direct one of the dumbest superhero flicks ever made called "Batman & Robin" with "Phone Booth" Schumacher redeemed himself in front of my eyes and Colin Farrell, Forest Whitaker and Kiefer Sutherland did a fantastic job plus the suspense was out of this world since each scene was more intense than the last one. Katie Holmes and Radha Mitchell also did a pretty decent job as well and people who love a really good thriller full of suspense and great acting will not be disappointed. Overall "Phone Booth" gets an A+
Larry Cohen's concept was originally offered to Hitchcock back in the '60s – but the auteur director couldn't figure a reason for keeping the guy in the phone booth for the whole thing, so it got delayed forty or so years until now. With CELLULAR, another hi-concept offering from Cohen focusing, this time, on a mobile phone, it's worth checking out PHONE BOOTH as it definitely stands out as one of the freshest films of the early 2000s, right up there with the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy in terms of quality. Short, snappy and extremely realistic, to say much about the plot would be to spoil this one, other than the banter between Farrell and the killer has you on the edge, as well as the small-scale but riveting action and drama. This definitely one of the most suspenseful films I've ever seen, with the gripping story evolving so far that you'll be sweating as you watch this, right along with Farrell.The Irish-born star is top-notch in his leading role, consolidating his place as one of Hollywood's most promising A-list stars. The supporting cast is also great, with Forest Whitaker typically excellent as the detective on the scene, and ex-NEIGHBOURS actress Radha Mitchell as Farrell's wife. Although this film only takes place on one location, I would say it matches the thrills and tension seen in the likes of the DIE HARD trilogy, it's that riveting. A film to be watched more than once, PHONE BOOTH is definitely gonna be a hard one to beat in the years to come.
It's hard to Imagine a more Believable and Compelling Performance in 2004 from an Actor than this one from Colin Farrell in Joel Schumacher's Tight Little Film.With a Low-Budget, a Sharp Script from Larry Cohen, and some Good Voice Acting from Kiefer Sutherland, the Inconsistent Director Crafted this Piece of Ranting Pop Culture about Honesty, Narcissism, and Indifference on the Streets of New York City, America.One Set Films are Tough to Pull Off. Plane, Train, Automobile, Room, or "Phone Booth", it doesn't make much difference, Movies must Move, by Definition. But Once in Awhile it can be done with the Talent, Imagination, and Cleverness that this Production Contains.It Reminds at times of "The Twilight Zone", an "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" Episode, or an Off-Broadway Play.Running Only 80 Minutes Helps as Things Happen Quickly and with a Melodramatic, almost Maniacal Pace, it is a Gut-Wrenching, Heart-Rending Experience with Colin Farrell, Schumacher, and Larry Cohen at the Top of Their Game.
