Cellular
Jessica Martin (Kim Basinger) is a high school science teacher and mother whose peaceful life is turned upside down when she is kidnapped from her home by five unknown assailants and taken to a mysterious location. Fearful for her life and completely in the dark as to her abductors' motives, Jessica manages to patch together a shattered telephone and secretly place a call to an unknown number in a last-ditch attempt to save herself. Ryan (Chris Evans), the carefree young man who answers the panicked call, suddenly finds himself Jessica's last hope.
With no knowledge of Jessica other than her hushed, fearful voice on the other end of the tenuous phone connection, Ryan is quickly thrown into a world of deception and murder in a frantic search to find and save her. The lives of Jessica and her family are in his hands, but what is waiting for him on the other side of the line and what will it cost him to find out?

This is a fun movie with action, suspense and comedy. True, some things are unbelievable like how Kim Basinger can make a call from a broken phone. But a movie is for entertainment value, and allows you to escape from your every day life for an hour and half. Great cast. If you're looking for heavy drama or something believable, this movie is not for you. I personally loved this film.Great Flick - Paulywood
Wow, what a ride. Lots of action, lots of stars, and some laugh out loud moments. Kim Basinger, Jessica Biel, Chris Evans, William H. Macy and Jason Statham make up the ultimate cast. Cellular is an unexpeted thrill that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finsh. I would recomend to anybody who likes action and comedy mixed.

With a title like that, I was not expecting too much from this movie but was pleasantly surprised by it. The overall concept is a bit far fetched but the story is well developed with spectacular action/chase scenes and a few twists that were a bit predictable but interesting nevertheless. What really helps this film is the great diversity of characters. The usual pattern would have been a victim, a bad guy and a hero but here they add all kinds of secondary roles that add some depth to a rather shallow plot. The cast here is quite good with numerous familiar faces doing a fine acting job with a fair dialogue. The sets and locations are quite good, the soundtrack is quite good and the camera work is very appropriate for an action film. There are quite a few stunts here and they are all well done. I was also impressed by the numerous extras present on this DVD. Recommended.
