Synopsis

Joel Schumacher (8 MM, FALLING DOWN) directs this suspense drama set in New York City's Times Square. A wannabe hotshot entertainment publicist who's more intent on posturing for his unpaid assistant than he is in actually working, Stu Shepherd (Colin Farrell) ducks into a phone booth to make his regular afternoon call to his girlfriend (Katie Holmes). Stu stops in the same phone booth at the same time every day to flirt with the young girl, who does not know that Stu is happily married with no intention of dating her seriously. When Stu says goodbye to his girl and sets down the receiver, he picks up a call from a threateningly sarcastic man with a deep voice. This man seems to have been tracking Stu's visits to this booth every day, and suddenly Stu knows that his secrets are no longer his own. Soon, the caller identifies himself as a sniper and begins shooting. Police are called in, and Stu must use his PR skills in a final test to get out of the booth, alive. This compelling drama, expertly crafted for maximum tension, will keep audiences nervously awaiting its outcome, unable to look away from the screen for even a moment.

4.0 out of 5 stars How 4 Walls Can Isolate You, Yet Release You, 8 Mar 2008
By DL Productions UK (Merseyside, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Phone Booth is an unsettling look at how technology can catch people out, and how you think you're safe when really you're not. Stu is an obnoxious fashion-obsessed compulsive liar who cheats on his wife, tells his clients what they want to hear and just generally tries to feather his nest as much as he can. One guy, "the caller", really has had enough of this guy and wants to teach him a vital lesson. He confines Stu to the phone booth, and makes him wish he'd never bothered going in there.

This is a great movie, excellently written and very emotional. Colin Farrell's desperation is great, and he has some funny lines. Kiefer Sutherland as the caller is great too, he's really got the skills for this film and he shines as the uncompromising voice who's really out to get Stu.

I like the emotion, the way the caller makes Stu think, his actions, and the way he feels out of touch. Stu is in a small box and made to feel small, and he does pour his heart out in there, yet the little box is actually a great release for him.

The blu-ray disk is pretty impressive - 5.1 DTS sound, and the mix is clear and very well done dynamically. The other languages are in 5.1 too, so it's a good buy for French and Italian shoppers. The video is good too, constant 25Mbps average, with a 2:35:1 presentation. The video is a lot less grainy than when I saw it in cinemas back in 2002, so that was a real treat for me. The extras are pathetic, a trailer and commentary from Joel Schumacher, very disappointing in my opinion, though Joel's commentary was good. Still lossless audio at 4.5mbps average is very good and should be not overlooked.

If you love this film, then upgrade to the Blu-Ray, but if you want more extras, don't really care for HD then stick with the DVD, as it's better extras wise and a lot cheaper.

Film gets 3 stars, 1 star for the extras, and 5 stars for the HD transfer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hated it, 5 Jul 2009
By D. W. Chester "HD Movies for me!" (Woking, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wished I had not bought this movie. It is so far-fetched and unlikely. Any real person would just have put the phone down and walked away but the writer has made this "victim" so ridiculous that he falls further and further into the trap.
I watched this movie once when it came out. I have not watched it since and have no desire to suffer it ever again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Phone Booth Deutsch, 25 May 2009
By Thomas Giessing (Hamminkeln) - See all my reviews

Ich gebe für den Film 3,5 Sterne, da der Film anfangs langweilig ist, doch später erst spanender wird, aber am ende doch nicht herrausragend ist.
