Phone Booth

ThrillerCrime

A slick New York publicist who picks up a ringing receiver in a phone booth is told that if he hangs up, he'll be killed... and the little red light from a laser rifle sight is proof that the caller isn't kidding. From TMDB

    My new favorite bit is saying "hits way too close to home" for every movie that comes up in conversation. Phone Booth, Taken, Babygirl. All too close to home.

    I love seeing great actors in early roles. In the movie, THE HUNGER (1983, Tony Scott), actors Willem Dafoe and John Pankow play "Phone Booth Youths," essentially extras with lines. Both actors would reunite for starring roles in TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA two years later.

    Die Hard definitely the best Christmas movie!! 😁 Carry-On is interesting. Got a third through yesterday before having to go somewhere. From what I've seen so far though, I got a lot of "Phone Booth" vibes, if anyone remembers the 2002 flick by Schumacher with Colin Farrell! It's intense!!

    #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Opera, another terrifyingly good murder movie from Dario Argento. The Big Year, surprisingly fun movie about birding, chill vibe and good cast. Phone Booth was a very tense and original thriller. Bullets Over Broadway, clever twist as the mob guy gets too involved.

    Let me tell you, if Larry Cohen had a problem with Michael Bay after asking the wrong questions about the movie Phone Booth, you know Bay isn't really a good filmmaker. And before Bay stans come at him, he wrote Phone Booth. The dude was a prolific screenwriter and director.

    I will always love that Larry Cohen wrote Phone Booth, a movie about a man who can’t get off the phone but can’t move, and Cellular, a movie about a man who can’t get off the phone and has to keep moving, and that they got made within two years of each other

    I really gotta question people who give a movie like Phone Booth 5 stars. Like, I'm deeply curious how their internal rating system works whenever I see something like that. Not even in a judgmental way, just like "how did you actually reach that conclusion?".

    I'm just a fan of The Lost Boys. Plus, I actually love Batman Forever, Phone Booth is great, Flatliners is decent, want to see 8mm and St. Elmo's Fire. He's got his ups and downs but he's not a director. And I also think The Lost Boys is his best film.

    "Phone Booth" starts off a bit slow in the first act, but it quickly picks up the pace and becomes more intense as it goes along. Colin Farrell and Forest Whitaker deliver fantastic performances that really bring the intensity to life. Kiefer Sutherland, who I know and love from 24, is chilling as the voice on the phone, adding a menacing layer even without much screen time. What’s also impressive is that the whole movie was shot in just 10 days, with two extra days for some additional shots.…

  • The Movie Diorama @themoviedioramaTMDB reviews · Jan 16, 2020

    Phone Booth dials up its millennial tension through suspenseful confined calls. Joel Schumacher is a rather inconsistent director. Unusual, yet capricious. From ‘The Lost Boys’ to ‘Batman & Robin’, his career has been considerably scattershot in terms of quality. Phone Booth, whilst quintessentially being a product of its time, happens to be his most simplistic. An arrogant publicist is held hostage in a phone booth by a mysterious sniper who offers him an ultimatum. A hyperbolised exercise in…
