This is a good movie, you feel the anxiety of the main character, played by Kim Bassinger. I bought this movie for Jason Statham, collecting all his movies, he only plays a small part in this movie.
There is no reason for anyone to say that this resembles Colin Farrel's Phone Booth flick since their completely different from each other. Maybe the titles give the wrong impressions? Oh well, Cellular is a decent little thriller flick that will satisfy you for its running time. Bare in mind that the action and the humour is kept to a minimum unlike other action flicks and seems to be one made on the cheap side. But then again it isn't as over-the-top like other action flicks are and keeps to realism which means we're only treated to one small explosion and some gun fire that will make the hardcore action fan roll his eyes. This is more of a thriller than anything else so don't let anyone else tell you any differently. Chris Evens seem to be the highlight of this rush hour flick which shows that he can actually act from the aweful Not Another Teen Movie. There is some dialogue that needed spicing that I think holded him back from acting even better in this but what we see and hear from him is good enough to be believed he is in the predictament that he actually is in. Kim Basinger seems to steal the show as the woman locked away in the attic with her tear works that makes us actually believe we're watching a serious thriller. In fact, on Chris we're seeing some popcorn fluff of him driving and running around town and on Kim we're seeing some excellent acting giving it some emotion. Jason Stratham is the bad guy, in any film he is in he always either the good tough guy or the bad tough guy, which actually does a better job in this than the Transporter films he did. You can tell he is made for the part. Like I have said, there isn't much action in this at all and when it does it just seems not enough to make it mouth watering. I would say there is a bit of tension in certain parts that have been done cleverly but then those parts seem to be too much of a coincidence to all happen on one day. There are some good twists that you won't expect through it and keeps it entertaining to watch more than once. The humour is sort of dry, you can tell when the funny parts is supposed to happen but they just don't make you laugh. I hate the lawyer guy who is supposed to be the 'funnyman' towards the film! You can tell he thinks hes funny but he didn't have the slightest bit of comedy coming out of his mouth. Don't buy this on ex-rental unless you don't care about the special features. Make sure you find out that what your buying is the copy from the shops, because the Ex-Rental towards this has no features whatsoever. The film itself is good enough to buy, but then I would recomend renting it out before deciding on that one since I know some people wouldn't like this. In fact, those who do like it should still buy it for a small price. It isn't worth the full retail. A good film that has a thrilling storyline, there is bit of coincidences throughout that seems luck is on the good guys side but something we can appreciate to what this type of movie is.Read full review
celluar is a brilliant thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way through..and it also helps that the gorgeous chris evans is in it(not the ginger one)..i decided to buy the dvd as i have already watched it 4 times on sky movies and i also have every film that chris evans has starred in asell.The dvd came in its own wrapped package so it proved it hadnt been watched and the dvd was cheaper than in the shops and of good quality...Very happy with my purchase.
Great movie and the ebay user who sold me it was both helpful and efficient. i would recommend this film to anyone who likes a good thriller, and the ebay used to anyone who dislikes hassle!
