Watch Unknown Caller For Free

Thanks for the memories!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Blistering performances.

Is the acting bad? Check Is the plot beyond asinine? Check The little girl, who's watching her parents scream, as their being trapped with a bomb in the house, she also witnesses a man get shot, all while being kidnapped. Through all the trauma she's is calmer than a monk on Xanex.

A slick thriller where a man just finishes having the latest alarm system installed, when he receives a call from an unknown caller. The caller wants payback and he uses the alarm to do it as well as a huge bomb in the basement. The man's daughter gets dropped off for the night which ups the ante. He has to figure out who the caller is and what he did or else the whole house explodes. People can come in the house but if anyone leaves, the house will explode. Before you know it four people are trapped inside.This was a pretty tense ride. It does get a little draggy in some spots but they somehow do keep things flowing. This is however one of those films where a guy goes to a hell of a lot of trouble to get revenge. The reason behind the whole thing kind of resembles Oldboy.It did keep me hooked all the way through even though the concept has been done a few times.

The story focuses on a family who has a well advanced security system and a man, who is the unknown caller, placed a bomb under the house. The main theme of this movie is that the father (David Chisum) needs to answer the unknown callers question of Who Am I? This is a slow paced movie as it takes too long to get to a point for example after the unknown caller kills the cat, the father drinks water, then sleeps. I understand that everyone needs to drink and sleep. But I found that in thriller movies I'll rather try and figure out how to solve this situation. Then waste time. Like when he tells his wife there is a bomb she smiles. There is more relationship drama than anything else. I think this movie is better if you have a flu and just you want something to help you fall asleep.

I found this film riveting overall and, for the most part, fast moving. The story is direct, plausible, and easy to follow. The acting was very good all around. The score was appropriate while not overwhelming. The cinematography was quite good. The special effects were adequate. Frankly, the limited blood and gore were refreshing - I watch a film to be entertained, not grossed out. I rate a film on it's story line, delivery, production values, and overall quality. This film performs well in each category. Comparing one film to another I'll leave to others. Overall, a worthwhile and entertaining thriller. Recommended! - Erick Erickson
