The Call opens UK tomorrow, 22nd.
This new thriller starring Halle Berry was highly recommended by the film review guy on Daybreak today. He likened it to Phone Booth but says it's even better. A killer has a teenage girl in the boot of his car but she has a mobile and gets through to a 911 operator (Berry). In the clip they showed, she tells her to punch out the side light and put her hand through. A passing car then calls cops.

For a film that cost $13m, I think Sony will be pleased with the $60m it's taken....
Cracking little thriller, lots of tension in the first 2 thirds, very inventive and compelling...it just loses it's way a little in the last third, goes down a different avenue and becomes more horror/serial killer orientated. Would'nt say it ruins the movie though, would still recommend it.
It got it's money back in the first weekend - it just faded away, there after.:(
Sony are just the distributor, It's a World Wrestling Entertainment film.
And they'll be doing the happy dance with those figures, seeing as the rest of their forthcoming slate includes- See No Evil 2, Leprechaun: Origins, and "Untitled Scooby-Doo WrestleMania Movie" http://www.imdb.com/company/co0242604/?ref_=ttco_co_2
Not sure where he got the running time from as its actually 93 minutes! Saw it the other night and really enjoyed it.
If you have Netflix and unblock to get the other regions it is on Netflix Mexico with no foreign subtitles. This is where I saw it three days before cinema release. As it turns out its not showing at my local cinema and I would have been annoyed to have missed it.
Thrilling from start to end.
*Should point out right now i'm in Sydney.
Was thinking at the start; they could make a TV series out of this 'pilot' film.....I'd watch it.
According to Wiki , this did originally start out as a TV series but decided to extend the pilot episode into a film.
But didn't Mulholland Drive start out as a TV series. :cool:
