Simply A Masterpiece

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Oh, this was utterly boring. One great big talkie, and they talked about stuff I really didn't care about. This was stupid. Just stupid! It became repetitive and boring. I couldn't wait for this tedious slow-moving-nothing-happening talkie to end, and when the ending finally came, I was like "Oh, whatever...next!"

PROS: COLIN FARREL isn't a bad actor, nor is he bad to look at. But in all seriousness, the acting wasn't too bad. Most of the time the characters were stagnant, even the person on the phone, but they were more good than bad on average. That's why it's a pro.CONS: The movie was wicked boring. When you have a one location thriller it becomes vital that you find something in that one location that could help influence the depth of the story. I felt that the director trapped himself in a corner when he chose this location. He ended up relying too heavily on character development to make the story scary, but that was a poor decision. It was a questionable choice because the actors were mediocre, and a movie that relies so heavily on acting (like the director anticipated) needs to have that something special to propel the movie forward. Since they didn't have this the movie fell flat. To summarize this bit, you had a man standing in a box with nothing really captivating or alluring to keep you watching and the only thing you did have to watch was OK actors waiting to say their lines. If that snippet wasn't enough, the ending was horrific. Not in like horror meaning scary, like horror meaning omg this is awful. The end sort of takes everything that was done in the movie and throws it away, in a garbage can, that then goes to the landfill, then gets squished and incinerated. That was how bad the end was, and that was all to top off a boring movie with a man standing talking with a stranger for 2 hours.www.chorror.com

Overall I felt that Phone Booth left me wanting just a little bit more. The thing that really drives this film forward is its suspense. The constant suspense of wondering how the situation will play out. Collin Farrell gave a solid performance and was very believable. It must be hard acting on a phone when no one is on the other end.Every one in this film was solid except for the black guy with the weird eye, I could not stop watching his eye and destracted me the whole time. The twist ending was predictable and could be seen from a mile away. I only wish that the shooter had shot more people to keep the story more interesting.Also the hookers looked gross, could they not have got better looking chicks?

This is a really great movie and acting performance by Colin Farrel is commendable. The "Voice" of the caller the other side, given by Keifer Sutherland impresses much. Its a different kind of a movie and that's what I love to watch.The movie grows all the more interesting with time and keeps you hold fast to your chair. Excitement is always at the apex and you are always wonder what will happen next. Definitely a must watch! Acting of Colin Farrell and voice of Keifer Sutherland makes the scene alive.Acting performances by all other characters in the movie is also good and Katie Holmes looks pretty in the movie. The entire movie is taken at one place just like 12 Angry Men and Locke. I love this kind of movie and its always a pleasure to watch something new like that.
