Cellular
A Film Review By Clyde Ayles (Film Info Click Here)
A WRONG NUMBER
Use your phone, but be careful who is on the other end when you answer it. You might get stuck in this movie. It starts off with a pretty mother taking her son to school, then when she arrives home, out of nowhere, three men attack her and kidnap her. They keep asking, "where is it?" You will learn after awhile that they are crooked , and they are looking for a video that this lady's husband took while they beat and killed two drug dealers and sold their take. Well, they tear the only phone out of the wall. But this pretty, brilliant lady, played by the way by KIM BASINGER, where has she been?, finds a way to attach wires and make a phone call. Low and behold, a young man (CHRIS EVANS) answers the call. She tells him that she is a kidnap victim and please take this phone call to the police. He does so, but gets nowhere. So as any upstanding youth would do, he runs to the boy's school when he learns that the bad cops announce they will go there to kill the kid. So, after arguing with a guard at the school, he really pushes it by stealing the guard's jeep. As you can imagine, this causes the usual car chase with cars crashing into each other. Then he carjacks a Lawyers Rolls Royce after the Lawyer causes interference by pulling up too close and crossing networks. Can they really do that? The battery is running low, what to do. Go to a Cellular store and jump in line and pull a gun to get a charger. Doesn't everybody do this? We also have you standard cop who is near retirement, but ges involved anyway. My hero. He is played by one of my favorite actors, WILLIAM H MACY. By the way' the son's name in the movie is Ricky Martin, but he doesn't sing.. I know it is a good thing to help people, but to this degree? Well, we had movies about televisions, we had them about computers, we had them about robots, and we had them about phone booths, so why not cellulars? What's next, DVDS?
