This movie really grabbed my appetite, the whole show took place in a small phone booth. The male protagonist is a publicist, but in fact, he is flickering around all day, empty-handed and white wolf, always using others for his own benefit, and the idea of ​​stealing food. I never thought that I would be targeted by the killer and played in the palm of my hand. The male protagonist was forced to do many things against his will, but it was an indisputable fact. Especially the confession of the male protagonist to his wife. While telling the truth, he also expressed his regret and guilt. Fortunately, he survived, but at the end of the film, he was threatened again by the killer, and if he was not honest, he would find him again.

Another bright spot in this film is the sheriff. The sheriff's performance is very calm, his thoughts are meticulous, and his arrangements are also very appropriate. In the end, he successfully deduced the logical relationship and traced the source of the phone call, although he found the real killer's surrogate ghost. , but saved the hero's life with a rubber bullet.

The film once again mentioned a meaningful sentence at the end, "This is really funny, you hear the phone ringing, it may be from anyone, but when the phone rings, you will naturally go. Pick up the others, right?" This drama is telling us the story of finding himself, which is the unfortunate encounter of the male protagonist, but also his road of self-redemption. The killer is still at large, as if he is a god, manipulating anyone he doesn't like, but he doesn't know that he is walking a path of no return. In the details of the dialogue between the male protagonist and the killer, we can see that although the killer himself enjoys it, he is moved to a certain extent by the seriousness of the male protagonist, and he is just the injured person.

    A performance art done by a high intelligence quotient to save the human soul. Let an ordinary person who can't leave the small phone booth to realize his shocking education. The development of the plot is quite ups and downs. Exciting.

    For a small and closed space, performance and lines are the two most important points. Colin Farrell’s solo show is remarkable, but the lines are too artificial and there are big problems in the logic of the story. Generally speaking, the script is very novel, but the production is too rough.

Phone Booth quotes

  • The Caller: Everybody does harm.

  • Stu: So you're an actor?

    The Caller: Yes, one of your pathetic failed ones. You don't have to come find me and ruin me, I can't get work as it is. I've done some off-Broadway, some off-Manhattan, but that dried up. Now I wait tables, clean toilets, anything I can to make the rent. I'm a walking cliché.
