Hmmm not sure. Colin Farrell was good, Kiefer sounded bad but, I dunno, it just didn’t fit properly. The tense moments were tense, the emotional moments were emotional, and the funny moments were funny. That was the problem. It could’ve been much better with a few more twists (easily gotten as they would’ve been) and the comic moments detracted and broke the suspense. Bad script if you ask. But as you weren’t I’ll just suggest that you leave this one for either rental or a Monday night on Channel 5.

Phone Booth

Good to see Colin Farrell getting a leading role, and he holds his own well here despite a slightly dodgy script and a flat ending. Premise of the film offered a lot and, while we enjoyed the movie, I think it could’ve offered more. That aside, Farrell plays his part well, Kiefer Sutherland earns his easiest money yet as the disembodied ‘Caller’. Enjoyable, only the script and an occasional loss of focus stopped this being a great thriller.
