Cellular

CELLULAR (2004) - Sept 14, 2004
A crackerjack thriller. About a woman who is kidnapped, but is able to use her mostly broken phone to connect to a guy on a cell phone. Kim Basinger and Chris Evans were both excellent in the main roles, and Jason Statham was appropriately sinister as the main bad guy. The movie didn't waste any time getting started, and pretty much had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. There was also a surprising amount of comedy in the film, which was nice. For sheer entertainment value, this was probably one of the best movies I've seen in a while, and was easily the best thriller I've seen since Panic Room. My only complaint is that the stupid trailer gave away way too much. Other than that, pure gold. ****
