Phone Booth

USA 2002, 78 minutes
Dir. Joel Schumacher
Rating: [M]
Genres: Suspense/Crime

Feat. Colin Farrell, Forest Whitaker, Katie Holmes, Radha Mitchell, Kiefer Sutherland

Aroview: A lean, claustrophobic and entertaining thriller with the cute gimmick of a single location and played out in real time - Colin Farrell plays a slick-talking media consultant who is forced to confess his indiscretions by a sniper who threatens to shoot him if he hangs up.

The script by B-movie veteran Larry Cohen is cleverly manipulating as a thriller that also taps a wryly satirical vein as the plight of the self-serving protagonist becomes front page news.

3 stars (Good Enough) A much more satisfying film than it has any right to be, this is set almost entirely in a phone booth, with slick Farrell in a fast-talking role as victim of an anonymous sniper who wants him to confess his sins to the world. Intense viewing. ~Tom H
