Strong and Moving!

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I didn't think I would like this movie, and just caught my eye(and cause I like Halle Berry's other works) so i thought why not give a chance. The movie proved itself to be actually really interesting, well put together anticipating thriller. It's not the typical kidnapper film, and i found myself on the edge of my seat, rooting for Jordan to catch the killer. The moment where she talks with Casey on the phone was very well put together, and maybe my favorite scenes of the film.However, the killer wasn't most well written and found it quite cliché, even though I'd love to know more about his motivation. Like when did he start killing the girls, was it when his sister died? what happened to her sister, and if she died of cancer like we were let to believe why did he have to start killing other girls? did he just go crazy? I mean maybe he was just crazy, but i thought it was weird his wife had NO clue of his killer personality and that he had killed dozen of girls.Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. It made me root for Jordan to find the killer, even the ending was somewhat predictable, but glad it had a happy ending. I wish we'd seen Jordan taking Casey to cinema like she promised though!

PROS: The best attribute that the movie has was it's ability to have amazing actors play difficult roles. In many horrors you get to see peoples true emotions when they are about to die, but you never get a zoomed in looked on what they look like; only a brief overview. THE CALL really dives into and analyzes the rawness of these emotions, and uses them as a platform to propel the other parts of the film, such as the build up of tension. The actors were able to showcase this quality in a way that I would say most others couldn't. Which was helped a lot, because the build up of tension relied heavily on the connections and emotions made previous in the film. These connections were clear and provocative.CONS: A mistake that could so vividly be seen was the amount of plot holes in the story. There were a bunch of times where I asked how or why that could even happen, and that frustrated me because it couldn't happen. The movie itself was very thrilling, but there was tons of things that left big question marks in my head after the movie ended. Oh, I also want there to be a sequel!www.chorror.com

The previews for this movie did not make it seem like it was going to be as good as it turned out to be. It was interesting to see how this story would play out considering the trailers made it seem like the entire movie takes place in the trunk of a car.From the moment the movie started, it instantly jumped into the suspenseful story. It starts by showing the police operator's work as it was taking the first victim's call. It was a horrific scene and outcome, but it set the standard for the rest of the movie. It introduced the predator Michael Foster, played by Michael Eklund. Michael Foster had a sick obsession with kidnapping and killing blonde haired teen girls. He was calculated and disturbing. But he was also a bit careless. After he had kidnapped Casey Welson, played by Abigail Breslin, he simply threw her into the trunk of his stolen vehicle and then he did not notice all the commotion she was causing while trapped in the trunk. What boggled me the most was the fact that she was on the phone with the police for over an hour, and it was not heard at all. She was talking to the police operator Jordan Turner, played by Halle Berry; it was not the usual side of police that one expects to see in a movie. The whole time, Jordan Turner was trying to help Casey Welson escape captivity. It was a frantic situation for both.The ending was great. I do not want to ruin it by saying what happened, but I will say it was a case of poetic justice for the predator.

Riveting. A heart-pounding, chilling thriller that will have you glued to the screen. The acting is superb. A truly intense story with an unexpected, shocking ending. This film touches some interesting, twisted psychological themes. The whole thing felt so real. I think this is the best thriller I've ever seen.
