Zeeshan Mahmud Loved it! ...Even after I re-watched it third time. Obviously they don't give Oscars for this type of genre, but if a person were to receive one without even making a single appearance in the film then it'd be TheCaller...just for his voice acting which held his weight and tremendous personality.

Joseph_Gillis I could see myself watching this again, although that's mostly for Forest Whitaker's alternately balletic and swaggering performance (the best big-screen fat man since Jackie Gleason's 'Minnesota Fats?), and the dialogue that Kiefer Sutherland gets to speak, and his demonic cackle.The phone booth of the title is located in mid-town Manhattan, and it's special for being the booth that fast-talking, lying, cheating publicist (Colin Farrell) uses for making motel dates with his girlfriend, because he knows his wife checks his cell-phone bills. Kiefer's an embittered crack-shot tech-wiz ex-Vietnam vet. psycho who's set himself up as some kind of moral arbiter (versatile, isn't he?); he's privy to Farrell's work and play mis-steps, and decides he's fair game for atonement (His previous targets - ultimately, victims - were proper criminals, which would cause one to question his basis of target-selection, given small-time Farrell's inclusion on his list. But at least he claims that he's prepared to set Farrell free, if the degree of his atonement warrants it.)Given that the movie is set almost entirely in and around the phone- booth it's something of a high-wire act to maintain a viewer's interest. That's partly overcome by Kiefer's frequently hilarious demands, and the almost staggering incompetence of the small army of cops that descend on the scene, 'Dog Day Afternoon'-style. But once Forest Whitaker arrives, you know you'll not want to take your eyes off the screen for a split second.Colin Farrell's is a somewhat thankless task, given the character he portrays, and the confined space he has to operate in - in contrast to the wide open spaces available to Whitaker - but I think he pretty much wrings every last inch out of his dialogue, and his reactions to Kiefer's demands. Which frequently cut me up; credit to him for keeping a straight face, throughout. And, given that he's playing a liar and a cheat, there's always the possibility that those tears, and those cries of anguish, are fake.But despite Farrell's tour-de-force performance, Forrest Whitaker bestrides this film like a colossus, in more ways than one.Of course, once you see Larry Cohen's screenplay credit you know it's going to be chock-full of implausibilities, and no little black humour, and it didn't disappoint. But the much-maligned Mr. Schumacher must bear substantial credit for pulling all the strings together, without you seeing the joins. Watch, and enjoy - without prejudice.

LeonLouisRicci It's hard to Imagine a more Believable and Compelling Performance in 2004 from an Actor than this one from Colin Farrell in Joel Schumacher's Tight Little Film.With a Low-Budget, a Sharp Script from Larry Cohen, and some Good Voice Acting from Kiefer Sutherland, the Inconsistent Director Crafted this Piece of Ranting Pop Culture about Honesty, Narcissism, and Indifference on the Streets of New York City, America.One Set Films are Tough to Pull Off. Plane, Train, Automobile, Room, or "Phone Booth", it doesn't make much difference, Movies must Move, by Definition. But Once in Awhile it can be done with the Talent, Imagination, and Cleverness that this Production Contains.It Reminds at times of "The Twilight Zone", an "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" Episode, or an Off-Broadway Play.Running Only 80 Minutes Helps as Things Happen Quickly and with a Melodramatic, almost Maniacal Pace, it is a Gut-Wrenching, Heart-Rending Experience with Colin Farrell, Schumacher, and Larry Cohen at the Top of Their Game.

Abhinav Tiwari This is a really great movie and acting performance by Colin Farrel is commendable. The "Voice" of the caller the other side, given by Keifer Sutherland impresses much. Its a different kind of a movie and that's what I love to watch.The movie grows all the more interesting with time and keeps you hold fast to your chair. Excitement is always at the apex and you are always wonder what will happen next. Definitely a must watch! Acting of Colin Farrell and voice of Keifer Sutherland makes the scene alive.Acting performances by all other characters in the movie is also good and Katie Holmes looks pretty in the movie. The entire movie is taken at one place just like 12 Angry Men and Locke. I love this kind of movie and its always a pleasure to watch something new like that.
