Product Description

Dans une cabine téléphonique de New York, le téléphone sonne. Stu, jeune attaché de presse bouffi de prétention, ne peut s’empêcher de répondre. Grand mal lui en prend : à l’autre bout du fil, un psychopathe lui assure que s’il ne l’écoute pas, il sera abattu. Pour le convaincre, le fou tirera sur un proxénète passant par là, un meurtre dont la police tiendra évidemment Stu responsable.
Dans ce suspense téléphonique, la tension naît du huis clos imposé par le décor auquel Joel Schumacher donne habilement du relief en multipliant les jeux formels. Mais cette réalisation vivante sert également d’écrin au discours du serial-killer, partisan d’un nouvel ordre moral aux principes luthériens, qui stigmatise à travers Stu plusieurs maux de la société contemporaine : l’hypocrisie, la vanité et l’égoïsme. --Helen Faradji

Customer Reviews
I finally watched it with the rationale that it is Colin Farrell in the booth, and therefore would not be another "My Dinner with Andre" kind of movie.
While I've seen better movies, this one kept my attention, and I would never consider it to be 81 minutes of my life irretrievably lost. Colin Farrell is brilliant as Stu Shepard, but the rest of the cast fails to register on the "Wow" scale. Katie Holmes is cute, but horribly miscast, and Forest Whitaker won't be putting this one down as one of his better performances. Nobody else even registers, except of course the caller, who has a suitably creepy voice.
The concept is intriguing, as a mystery caller with a wealth of technology and information seeks to right the wrongs of the world, one slime-ball at a time. Worse offenders must have crossed his path, but for some strange reason, he decides to target Shepard for the "crimes" of fantasizing and nearly cheating on his wife, for faking his success, and for not being nice to people in general. After Shepard manages to tip off the police, and they finally realize that something's not right with the scenario, the movie wraps up in an untidy hurry.
The major let down for me was the prominent billing for Keifer Sutherland, even with his face in the cover shot, so you definitely knew something was wrong by the time you got to the end, said end being quite unsatisfying.
Plot holes abound, but if you can get past them, you will enjoy Farrell's performance.
