About this movie

Stuart Shepard (Colin Farrell) is a somewhat sleazy publicist who uses an outdoor phone booth to call his girlfriend because his wife keeps tabs on his cell phone bills. But when Stu answers the phone in the phone booth, the terror begins. Now it's a real-time race against the clock as Stu must outwit a psychotic sniper in a frantic scramble from phone booth to freedom.

I liked this movie. Colin Farrell did an admirable job carrying the major load of the drama. His transformation from a self-absorbed second class publicist into a sacrificial penitent is completely believable. He is ably assisted by a more than competent cast. I would have preferred a different ending, but even so, the one used works. It is unfortunate that the release came at a time when attention to movies was so overwhelmed by the US economic meltdown.

I saw this and "The Ring" back to back one day at a friend's house. I swear by the time they were both over I never wanted to hear a (landline) phone ring ever again.

Great suspense for such a heavily unknown movie. Keifer does such a great intimidating voice throughout and Colin does a great job expressing fear throughout. Easily would say my favorite low budget movie in my opinion
