 Phone Booth (DVD)
 Phone Booth (DVD) ... For a film confined almost entirely to one tiny location, Phone Booth has been the centre of a lot of off-screen action: changing lead man from Will Smith to Jim Carrey to Colin Farrell, with various directors attached, and finally postponed as a result of the Washington Sniper attacks--and all this before its release. Still, Larry Cohen's taut 80-minute script finally hits the screens and, as public utility-based thrillers go, it's pretty gripping stuff. Colin Farrell plays slick and obnoxious PR man Stu Shepard who picks up a ringing payphone only to be informed by a mysterious sniper (Keifer Sutherland) that there's a gun pointed directly at him. What Stu initially believes to be a joke turns about to be a vendetta from the sniper who objects to married Stu's philandering ways, and it soon escalates into a prime-time TV siege. Joel Schumacher's energetic direction--employing some snappy editing and nifty split-screen techniques--helps distract from an uneven and often predictable plot. It's easy for the audience to think of a dozen ways this siege could be averted, but by upping the tension stakes Schumacher still makes it fun to watch. Colin Farrell gives a compelling central performance, which runs the emotional gamut from anger to fear to anguish and even carries off a cheesy absolution scene. Keifer Sutherland's husky baddie voiceover is not exactly the stuff of nightmares but, like the rest of the film, you could do a lot worse. As a pure popcorn thriller, Phone Booth hits all the right buttons. --Laura BushellNewest Review: ... the call to get a call from a mysterious caller who starts to insult him and also says he can see him as well, The man does ... more ... not believe it and gives insults back and then the caller tells him about his affairs and that he has a gun which starts to worry the man.
The man then is scared to get of the phone and some women and a man want to use the phone who get angry, So the caller then actually shoots from the top and kills the people waiting for the phone which makes it look the man in the phonebooth did it.
Now he is stuck and the police get involved and believe he is the man who killed the other person, He is kept on hold on the phone o...more |

This film was on telly last night & since I really could not sleep due to a late night take-away, which I sorely regretted as my tummy felt more swollen than usual, I decided to watch it. Story The story is actually very simple. We have this publicist, Stu (Colin Farrell), who is chatting away on his mobile phone to clients & people that work for him, brushing aside people that know him & annoy him as he goes, trying to blag some big money deals. He talks so fast it is hard to really follow what is happening, but soon enough we expect him to be dumbstruck. He enters the phone booth, which we already know is to be the centre of attention ...

The Plot ----------- Colin Farrell answers a ringing phone on a busy New York Street. The voice at the other end warns him not to hang up or he will be shot… Cast ------ This is a film which relies on just two main characters (although there are more) and boasts superb central performances from its two key actors. This is just as well – it’s always a gamble pinning an entire film on just two characters – get the casting wrong and the whole thing falls apart. The main men are: ** Stu Shepard (Colin Farrell): Farrell is superb as the manipulative, selfish and thoughtless Shepard, who gradually breaks down under the pressure he is ...
