:] This looks fucking stupid,but as far as the movie ratings go,I'm dead wrong about this one...as I always say,I'm no Alice Cullen.[[I'm still looking into changing that]]It's a Twilight joke by the way to all you people who have been living under rocks.No offence to rocks.
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.
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.
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 !
