Just seen this movie today - thought it was excellent, something slightly more original than most of the stuff that Hollywood "churns out" these days. Anyone else seen it?

yeah, thought it was quite good - its release was delayed for ages though :( which probably didn't help it at the box office. Bloody terrorists :( and then gun men hiding in cars ;(

Lighthouse looks very promising too :))

Loved Phone Booth a tense psychological thriller that I've watched twice and found it just as mesmerising as the first time

i watched a while ago and thought it was one of the worse movies released this year-it was boring- to say it was meant to be a thriller it didnt thrill me much, rather the opposite it sent me to sleep.

if your looking for a good phone related movie watch cellular- good movie,

or dont say a word both tons better

I saw it and thought it was a very good film! A nice change from the typical "rubbish story, expensive special effects" movies.

I liked it. It's the sort of film that Hitchcock would have made into a masterpiece

Hitchcock's big ambition was to set a film entirely in a phone box the closest he ever got was a film called Lifeboat but this film is inspired by that idea.

I watched it last night and thought it one of the best films I've seen for some time. A well-written, psychological thriller without, as someone has said, all those special effects which seem to detract from the plot.

I doubt if it was a particularly cheap film to make, as New York is the most expensive city in the world to hire for filming, or so I hear. Nor sure if I understood the bit about the rifle bullet though. Surely they could have examined the pimps body and discovered it wasn't a bullet from a pistol, but I'm just trying to pick holes. Excellent film.

yeah i thought it was an original idea for a film that was done quite well.

Saw Phone Booth, liked it just felt there was more of a story to be told when it ended

Have heard Cellular is by the same director? if so he must have a thing aobut phones anyone seen Cellular and got any thoughts?

I think it is ok. Not a classic but certainly watchable more than once.

As Keifer Sutherland (the sniper) wasn't caught, it sort of leaves things open for a Phone Booth 2, doesn't it?

Sh*t, I've just spoiled the ending for those who haven't seen it yet:loopy:
