Stu Shepard is a fast talking and wise cracking New York City publicist who gets out of trouble and lies with his clever charm, connections, and charisma. Stu's greatest lie is to his wife Kelly, who he is cheating on with his girlfriend, Pam. Upon answering a call in a phone booth in belief it is Pam, Stu is on the line with a dangerous yet intelligent psychopath with a sniper rifle. When realizing it is not a joke, Stu is placed in a powerful mind game of wits and corruption. The New York City Police eventually arrive thereafter and demand Stu comes out of the phone booth- but how can he when if he hangs up or leaves the booth he will die?
How Joel Schumacher could make a film over such a small plot, and make it so good is amazing.
A must see if you like thrillers. -

MCT:May 12, 2008PHONE BOOTH would be a great, tight, suspenseful thriller if it wasn't for the fact that it runs out of steam in the final minutes -- not to mention that wouldn't the cops note that the first guy killed was actually shot in the back at some point? Not only that, the killer (Keifer Sutherland) really doesn't have the most valid reason for wanting to kill Farrell's character. He mentions he has killed 2 others, one being a pedophile, the other an Enron-type corrupt businessman, but Farrell isn't guilty of much except only thinking about cheating on his wife and being self centered. When you start considering things like that, it really takes away a lot of the impact of the movie.
One funny note is Katie Holmes mentioning that she has to go to her acting class to do a scene from JERRY MAGUIRE playing the Renee Zellweger part...time has funny ways of making very inconsequential lines ironic. -

The story is a simple one. Stu is a wide boy, shallow and selfish. One day he hears a phone ringing in a public booth and answers it. The caller tells him not to hang up or he will die. For once, Stu seems unable to talk his way out of a situation and, from initially being belligerent and cocky; he becomes increasingly afraid for his life.
It doesn't sound much of a tale but the film is surprisingly good, thanks in the main to the strong leads (Farrell and Keifer Sutherland). The director manages to keep a good pace going, in spite of the limitations of the set, and the film manages to maintain the tension throughout. It is certainly something a little different from the usual 'thriller' movie and definitely worth 81 minutes of anyones time.posted 543 days ago -
Description
A single phone call can change a man's life…or possibly end it. Colin Farrell delivers a captivating, off-the-hook performance as Stu Shepard, a self-centered New York City publicist who suddenly finds himself on the deadly end of a high-powered rifle scope. Now it's a real-time race against the clock as Stu must outwit a psychotic sniper in a frantic scramble from phone booth to freedom. Directed by Joel Schumacher, this groundbreaking "tightly-made thriller" (Sidekick Magazine) co-stars Forest Whitaker, Katie Holmes, and Kiefer Sutherland as the crazed gunman calling the shots, literally.posted 543 days ago -
the combination of colin farrell's acting and Kiefer Sutherland's voice made a powerful movie.. for me i was expecting a 2nd part .. to show if colin learned from his mistakes? and if Kiefer wud go out and play that role on another person .. anyways.. it's a good movie and for those who haven't watched it .. u really have to get it !
