Suspense thriller starring Kim Basinger as Jessica Martin, a biology teacher who is abducted by a ruthless kidnapper who threatens to murder her husband and son. Her kidnapper, Greer (Jason Statham) takes her to an isolated cabin where he destroys the only working phone, but she manages to reassemble it sufficiently to send out a call - which is picked up by college student Ryan (Chris Evans). The only trouble is, the battery is running low on his mobile phone - Jessica's only lifeline...

5.0 out of 5 stars Hope he had the 1000-minute calling plan 3 Jan 2006
By Joseph Haschka HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
I've yet to succumb to the temptation to own a cell phone. CELLULAR has me thinking that perhaps life is passing me by.

Jessica Martin (Kim Bassinger) lives the good life in the SoCal suburb of Brentwood - you know, where OJ lived - with her realtor husband Craig (Richard Burgi) and 11-year old son Ricky (Adam Taylor Gordon). One day, after waving Ricky off on the school bus, Jessica's home is invaded by three thugs led by Greer (Jason Statham). After shooting the housekeeper - perhaps one of the shortest bit parts in history, the intruders carry Martin off to a house in the hills (with a million $ view of the San Fernando Valley), where she's locked in the attic with a smashed phone until Craig hands over an item about which she knows nothing. Being a high school science teacher, Jessica coaxes the phone back to life and dials out by touching two wires together. Calling blindly, she manages to reach the young and irresponsible Ryan (Chris Evans) cruising the coast down by Venice Beach. After much tearful pleading, Martin convinces Ryan that her plight is real, and this launches the latter off on a day-long odyssey of chases and violence as he tries to rescue Jessica and her soon-to-be-abducted son, all the while maintaining that tenuous phone connection to the near-hysterical woman. Obviously, Ryan has never heard the old adage, "No good deed goes unpunished."

CELLULAR has everything necessary for a vicarious, nail-biting thrill ride at the movies. There's the truly vicious villain (Greer), the gorgeous damsel in distress (Jessica), and the completely engaging knight-errant (Ryan), all perfectly played by their respective actors in an ingenious plot. Then there's the delicious supporting role of William H. Macy as Mooney, the police desk sergeant who reluctantly gets involved in the mayhem when all he really wants is to retire and run a day spa with his girlfriend. And to top it off, the film's creators bedevil Ryan with those little daily annoyances that the viewers will personally know so well: a patronizing sales clerk, having to "take a number" in a crowded store, an obnoxious lawyer, bad cellular reception in tunnels and stairwells, an officious security guard, a driver in the next car playing the stereo too loud, slowpokes in the fast lane, and street delays caused by inopportune construction.

CELLULAR isn't one of the year's greatest cinematic achievements, but, for pure entertainment value and fun, it rates 5 stars if you're not too discriminating and willing to overlook a few credibility gaps. I mean, you can't actually park your car curbside in front of the terminal at LAX.

Finally, Jessica's knowledge of human anatomy, when combined with a sharp object, gives fair warning that you probably don't want to p.o. your high school science teacher.

4.0 out of 5 stars Got better as I watched it 5 Aug 2005
Format:DVD
I was unsure about this film when I started watching it. Granted, it gets into the action within minutes of starting but I didn't believe it was Kim Basinger at the start because of her crocodile tears and acting. That has to be down to the director. However, as I watched it, I started to enjoy it more and more. I found it kept me on the edge of my seat and I like it when you can see the bad guys are going to get their just rewards. The plot was a bit far fetched, but who cares! I also found it good to see an 'action' film putting more effort into supplying a little humour as opposed to gratutious violence. This is born out by the fact that Jessica is never once hit in the whole film, just thrown about a bit, but I thought her early acting deserved at least one good slap ;-) I'd recommended it to anyone wanting to put their feet up for an evening with a bottle wine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Thriller?
If you like a good thriller, then this is ok. It's not the best thriller I've watched, but never the less entertaining, even if it's only to hear Kim Basinger's wicked screams.
