Cellular

By occupying their roles believably, by acting as we think their characters probably would, they save the movie from feeling like basic Hollywood action (even when it probably is). This is one of the year's best thrillers.

The film works by putting the accelerator to the floor and never looking in the rear-view mirror.

It's mad, bad nonsense of the summer, popcorn variety, disposable but oh-so-much fun to endure, a roller coaster on a wobbly cinematic track.

Basinger takes her shuddery Stanwyckness very seriously, but everyone else has a ball.

As Ryan, Evans attempts to graduate from "Not Another Teen Movie"-type fare to more adult stuff. He holds his own, but he has no edge.

That's not to say it isn't entertaining, only that the scenes which rely entirely on the fragile interplay between Jessica and Ryan suggest a more compelling movie that got lost in the welter of high-speed highway recklessness.

Using a kidnapping plot to call up some old-fashioned suspense, it doesn't even get a dial tone.

This is one of the best thrillers I have seen this decade. On top of the performances being good, you really are on the edge of your seat the whole time. You really don't see anything coming. From beginning to end you are entertained and you guess what will happen next. Great movie.

На разок. Нормально снято, актёры нормально играют, нормальные спец-эффекты, персонажи иногда тупят, не могут попасть, когда это проще простого, с физикой иногда не ладится. Итог: Отличное кино чтобы после очень запарного дня придти домой, взять из холодильника пивка и что-нибудь поесть, сесть перед телевизором/монитором и смотреть не напрягая мозги.

Cellular is a slightly bubbling action movie , thriller and very very precisely, although almost inadmitible to speak, always appear as the plot cellphones , although it is unfair to say, but they must be used sparingly.

De la part de David R. Ellis (Destination Finale, Des Serpents dans l'Avion, Shark 3D), je ne savais pas trop à quoi m'attendre avec ce thriller. Et bien, j'aurais du me douter du rÃsultat final lorsque j'ai vu les extraits... Je veux bien comprendre que ce film ne se prenne pas au sÃrieux. Mais les invraisemblances grotesques sont tellement nombreuses!! Une prof qui sait comme par hasard rÃparer un tÃlÃphone, Monsieur-tout-le-monde qui s'improvise hÃros comme ça, batterries de tÃlÃphones dispo quand il le faut... Bref, sur une idÃe qui aurait pu être sympathique, le film se perd incontestablement dans un bordel sans nom de clichÃs et conneries scÃnaristiques montres! Et je ne parle même pas du casting, quelque peu dÃcevant. Reste que le tout soit menà avec Ãnergie (je le reconnais), mais avec Cellular, je ne comprends pas pourquoi on fait ce genre de film alors que sur le papier, on pouvait faire bien mieux qu'une "comÃdie" d'action.

A fresh faced Chris Evans helms this shoddy thriller where an immature himbo gets a call from a mystery woman asking for help and partakes in a race against time to save him. It's a rapidly paced nonsensical train wreck with mediocre acting by what would be an acclaimed cast. It's too inoffensive to be particularly bad but fails to prove itself worth watching at all.
