Cellular (2004) 8/10

Starring : Kim Basinger, Chris Evans, Jason Statham, William H Macy, Eric Christian Olsen, Jessica Biel
Director : David R Ellis
Running Time : 91 mins

Ryan (Evans) receives a phone call on his mobile phone from a woman (Basinger) who claims she’s being held hostage in her home. Believing the call to be a prank, he eventually reports the apparent crime to the police, only to discover that his own life may now be in danger as the police seem to be involved in the kidnapping themselves.

This was a surprisingly good action thriller, which takes a simple concept and extends it to the max. Evans plays the role with a slight whimsy which makes the seriousness of the situation almost laughable, and Macy performs a fine supporting role as the cop about to retire who gets dragged into the situation.
