Phone Booth review

Phone booth
Genre           : thriller
Release date  : 4th April 2003
Duration        : 81 minutes


A ringing phone need to be answered, right?


This is what I talk about being outsmarted just via throwing out your words. This movie is basically revolves a phonebooth which is going to be demolished the next day.

a simple call would'nt hurt, eh?

It is just a simple plot, you walk into a phonebooth, make a call and when you finished, the phone rang and you answered it.

suddenly someone who knows him called.(really know him)

I love it when a movie could bring up our daily routine and make it into something unimaginable (the reason I love japan horror movies)

suddenly a pizza guy comes.pizza to a phonebooth?wth?

Stu Shepherd just going through his normal daily routine when suddenly realizes that his life was hanging at a gunpoint.

and giving death threats

I love it when Kiefer Sutherland plays his role well, manipulating each of the scene carefully, planning the so called “rehabilitation” to force his victim to obey him. It is just like Saw, without the gore.

forces him to confess to his wife

Forest Whitaker also plays his character well, with his one eye slanted more than the other, it shows that his life is suffering too, just through his appearance. And through that quality, he could detect that Stu is not just some lunatic who don’t want to get out of the phonebooth.

captain Ed Remy. (focus at the slanted eye)

Enough with that, just go see the movie for yourself. I’d given the movie 4.5 out of 5.
Trust me, it’ll worth your time. =)



Girlfriends alert!
 Do bring your girlfriend along, at least you had someone’s arm or hand to hold on to during those intense moment (trust me, you’ll need it!)

Happy thrilling!
