Phone Booth

Plot (from IMDB)

Stu Shepard (Farrell) is an arrogant publicist who thinks he has the whole world in his hands. Every day he uses the same phone booth to call the woman (Holmes) he is cheating on his wife (Mitchell) with. But on the last day, before this particular phone booth is demolished, the phone rings. Stu naturally answers the phone, only to find the caller (Sutherland) on the end is an invisible sniper who knows everything on Stu, including his relationships. The caller now has Stu as his hostage, who demands he comes clean with his wife.



Review:

This is a perfect movie for Farrel. He plays an asshole, which everyone already thinks. So its easy for him to play the role. The hard part is for him to come around to the good side at the end of it... still not sure if he completes it. Kiether Sutherland is the man in this one, as always, even though we only see him for 10 seconds. The movie is really good at keeping it very tense all the way through and its not hard cause its not a very short movie. All in all, decent flick. Check it out if you haven't already.

Rating: 3.5/5
