Night at the movies - Phone Booth

[Charles Lindsey]

Interesting in an odd sort of way. The first five minutes are boring as all get out. Just thousands of shots of people on the phone. About 20 secs into it you want to yell at the screen "Okay, okey, we get it, it's about a phone!" but when it gets to the main character it's just slightly more interesting. Just showing him using his phone though.

It doesn't pick up until he gets into the (surprise) phone booth. Then it starts getting interesting in that odd compelling gotta see the train wreck way.

The lighting and textures were odd. And they used that two/three/four way picture like they do on TV when people on the phone. They used that a fair amount but not over much.

The bad guy on the phone was louder than the characters. I guess that simulated what it would sound like if you were the one on the phone. Directorial license I suppose.

Lot's of curse words. Lots of the "f" word. No gore. Only two gunshot wounds with minimal blood.

7/10

I seen some previews for this one it looked interesting. I was thinking about going to see it today but got side tracked. I'll have to check it out tomorrow now. Thanks for the review!

[Guest Remo Williams]

Sure will as soon as I get out to see it. The only theater showing it in my area is on the other side of town. About a 25 mile round trip. It figures the theater a block away from my house won't be showing it. Oh well I'll run out there this week for sure its on my list of movies to see this week! Which is as follows:

Matrix:Reloaded
