    A low-cost masterpiece in a small space, the screenwriter Larry Cohen persuaded Fox to shoot this film with a two-sentence summary of the story. Unfortunately, he failed to take over the guide tube, and Joel Schumache only completed 80%, even though he has shown the director. Skill, but the whole film is only 75 minutes to subtitles, which is a full 15 minutes of length. The film breaks the limit of space, but cannot avoid the repetition of the lens. It is a one-man show by Colin Farrell.

    Caller speaks like a narrator, so it's boring. Sacrifice the disrespect of the protagonist to save humanity? Pull ~ Later is the illusion produced by the conscience of people like him? Even more

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.
