The Call (2013) 8/10

Starring : Halle Berry, Abigail Breslin, Morris Chestnut, Michael Eklund
Director : Brad Anderson
Running Time : 95 mins

Suffering from PTSD after a particularly harrowing emergency call that left a young girl dead, Jordan Turner (Berry) is forced to relive her nightmare when, during a training exercise, she is placed back on the phones with another young abductee, Casey Weldon (Breslin), who has been snatched a stuffed in the trunk of a car by a killer (Eklund) who seems to have the same MO as the previous abductor.

This is an underrated and entertaining thriller that manages to keep the action going for the full duration of the film. The characters are actually believable and the suspense is handled perfectly, though Berry is a little hammy at times when it comes to her trauma. Breslin is rateable as the kidnap victim, while Eklund is superb as the killer.
