Colin Farrell is hunted down in a phone booth by a sniper that says he will kill him if he leaves the phone booth.
I found it to be dumb. I heard there was a slight twist at the end, but you could see it coming. When he was apologizing for stuff, I didn’t care. Kiefer Sutherland was funny a couple of times, but not enough to save the movie. I couldn’t wait for it to be over.
I actually fell asleep about 20 minutes into it and we ended up watching the end of it the next night. Do you know how hard it is to find the scene you were watching when all the scene pictures on the DVD show him in a phone booth?

I saw this on Saturday and I thought it was very good! Worth the wait and delays. It was a very quick movie to watch. Colin was very convincing and I also liked Forest Whitaker.
I heard on the radio this morning that this movie had actually been pitched to Alfred Hitchcock back in 1971 or so, which I thought was interesting – I wonder how his version would have been different.
I saw this last night. It was OK I guess. Nothing very special. The two best things about it were:
1.) It was like 80 minutes long. Even if it wasn’t that good, I can hardly make that decision in that amount of time.
2.) The hooker talking about he hurt her “dick” hand. :))
