Before I start to write a review for this movie….just have to say one thing!
This is the BEST MovIE I have seen this year!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Isn’t it Funny… you hear a phone ring…it could be anybody … but a ringing phone has to be answered doesn’t it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stu, a publicist, who is a liar, selfish, self-centered, cheater….simply not a nice guy.
He uses a phone booth to make a call…suddenly, as he about to leave the booth. The Phone rings…. “Tring! Tring! Tring!” He picks it up….knowingly that it would be nobody he knows…..why did he pick up that phone. He finds himself fighting against a unknown person, a sniper, who has a gun!
It’s a ticking bomb…..Tick Tick…. A toy is shot down…. Tick Tick …. Hookers interrupt….pimp killed…Tick Tick…. Police arrive….Tick Tick… He can’t leave the booth, so police are convinced that he is armed… Tick Tick..Sniper makes jokes! Stu outwits the psychotic sniper and uses his cell to call his wife…so she & police can hear what’ s really going on… Tick Tick….Stu loses it! He comes out of the booth….and police reach the apartment Tick Tick….
and find a guy dead there….But he is really that sniper or just another victim?
Movie is excellent…its short! Its just amazing….you are there with Stu…how he is feeling…what he must be going through!
Colin Farrel….excels! Of course, he got to say his favorite word over n over n over again… “F**K”
Katie Holmes & Colin’s wife basically have no dialogues or real scene….but they are good in the little they do in the movie…although, the actress who plays Colin’s wife..she is better.
Forest Whitaker is good in playing a confused & Nervous cop….
surprise! Who is the sniper---- can I please say his name…cause I just think he is so handsome….plz…..
Kiefer Sutherland
<:: What do we Learn from this movie ::>
<> Don’t Pick up the phone from a Phone Booth.
<> Don’t be so rude that it pisses somebody so off..that he is out to kill you.
<> Don’t go to New York and use that phone booth on 5th Ave.
<> Don’t mess with Hookers!
<> Don’t cheat on your wife!
<> Don’t be a Publicist!
Overall, I say this is the best movie I have seen this year! Go rent the DVD…..Don’t Miss IT!
Personal Note ::: I have picked up phone calls from the Booth at least 4 times. Now I’m sure never to pick up a phone….But Thank God! No snipers were there when I picked up!
