Premise
Colin Farrell stars as a man caught in a life-or-death hostage situation with a sniper in a phone booth.
Liked
Premise, Farrell's performance.
Thoughts
Pretty interesting idea and pretty exciting. Farrell carried this occasionally implausible flick effortlessly and magnificently. Forest Whitaker and Kiefer Sutherland lent gravitas to the situation. I was rather shocked to find out "Mr. Visually Grandiose is Not Enough" Joel Schumacher to put together a pretty taunt, minimal flick.
Phone Booth was far from great, but like Buried, I appreciated the degree of difficulty, effort, creativity, and the fun ride.
