This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

When a veteran 911 operator takes a life-altering call from a teenage girl who has just been abducted, she realizes that she must confront a killer from her past in order to save the girl's life. The Call benefits from very good work from both Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin plus Michael Eklund was great as the abductor and despite some flaws the film holds quite well although the ending did had somewhat a cool justice factor to it was also a bit to much as well i think. But definitely better than some other movies that Berry has starred on. (7.5/10)

The Call in totality is an average film, containing both the good and the bad.It is an intense tearjerker thriller for two thirds of the film, with some poor characters and unnecessary stuff during. The last third, once Jordan is taken off call and it's no longer an intense pursuit, the film doesn't have much to stand on. I think if you are going to introduce the villain, explaining why he is doing the things he's doing. You need to do it earlier in the film, not at the end. Plus they could of used child actors playing out some of the scenes instead of using pictures, seems a bit lazy to me. I think Halle Berry could of been better with the bulk of the screen time, but a substantial portion of the film was very good anyway.

I didn't think I would like this movie, and just caught my eye(and cause I like Halle Berry's other works) so i thought why not give a chance. The movie proved itself to be actually really interesting, well put together anticipating thriller. It's not the typical kidnapper film, and i found myself on the edge of my seat, rooting for Jordan to catch the killer. The moment where she talks with Casey on the phone was very well put together, and maybe my favorite scenes of the film.However, the killer wasn't most well written and found it quite cliché, even though I'd love to know more about his motivation. Like when did he start killing the girls, was it when his sister died? what happened to her sister, and if she died of cancer like we were let to believe why did he have to start killing other girls? did he just go crazy? I mean maybe he was just crazy, but i thought it was weird his wife had NO clue of his killer personality and that he had killed dozen of girls.Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. It made me root for Jordan to find the killer, even the ending was somewhat predictable, but glad it had a happy ending. I wish we'd seen Jordan taking Casey to cinema like she promised though!

Riveting. A heart-pounding, chilling thriller that will have you glued to the screen. The acting is superb. A truly intense story with an unexpected, shocking ending. This film touches some interesting, twisted psychological themes. The whole thing felt so real. I think this is the best thriller I've ever seen.
