Summary: A really good film
Review: I have a lot of the negative reviews of this film and I don't understand them at all.
I thought Colin Farrell, and Forrest Whittaker were great, with the nod to Farrell, his part was more demanding.
This is unique story line. Come on---who could make a movie about a guy that cannot leave a phone booth and make it believable. They did with this film.
One criticism I noticed was that someone didn't feel they it was explained why Farrell's character was chosen. But that is made perfectly clear by the voice on the phone. He's a scum bag who uses people and throws them away, and gives no one respect. But that is made perfectly clear by the voice on the phone.
There's not a lot of action in this film but it's a really good story, you feel the threat. And I doubt you'll see this ending coming---you may think you have it figured out if you watch the last 10 mins or so very closely. But you won't have it quite right.
Good movie----well worth watching.
I'll watch it again.

Summary: Great Build Up - Disapointing Ending.
Review: Colin Farrel portrays a smaller-then-he-thinks publicist in this 80 minute 'thriller'. Although I have given this film 2 stars, I will say that the first 40 minutes of Phone Booth were actually quite gripping up until even Kiefer Sutherland's voice acting started to annoy me. And what made the film even more of a time waster was its rather stupid ending, making the whole film pointless as it really is a poor excuse threatening to kill a guy to, in effect, 'teach him a lesson'. Not that the acting was bad or charatcers annoying, its the screenplay that was poorly written, especially for Kiefer Sutherland. Attempting to make him out to be this psychopath, towards the end, you actually think it is in fact a comedian (a bad one at that) whose aquired a rifle and is having fun toying with this guy in a phone box. For Colin Farrel fans, you may as well see this, but for those who hate anti-climax's, don't bother.

Summary: It's the audio
Review: This movie was an excellent panic film. It was able to keep me unnerved from the moment it started. You can actualy feel the stress of the situation. It took several hours for me to finaly be able to relax again. The crowning achievement in this movie is the audio. While listening to it in my media room, I was impressed by how well the surrounds draw you in. The voice of the man on the phone comes across as almost god like. It is removed enough from the chaos of the film to make it's perfomance as important, if not more important, then any other actor in the film.

Summary: Entertaining
Review: I caught this the other night on HBO and have to admit that I sat down and watched it... It was quirky enough to be entertaining and hold my interest, though there are points where the plausibility of the story falls apart...

Summary: PHONATICAL PHONE
Review: I give this movie five stars because Colin Farrell's performance is dynamite. Even though only 80 minutes long, Farrell was on screen almost the whole time, and the range of emotions displayed is awesome. There's an Oscar waiting for him in the near future. Kiefer Sutherland as the voice/sniper was also great, malignant in his self righteous judging of other people. Joel Schumacher's direction was excellent; with such a stagnant setting such as the phone booth, he manages to keep us riveted to our seats, wondering when the next shot will come. Other than Forest Whitaker as the chief of police in a fine solid performance, the rest of the cast is basically supportive. Radha Mitchell is good as Kelly, Farrell's wife; John Enos III as the pimp Leon is pretty decent; and Katie Holmes is always pretty to look at, though she doesn't have that much to do.
This is one of those movies that got battered for whatever reason; I think it's a top notch thriller. I recommend it.

Summary: Who needs a high budget to make a good movie?
Review: This movie was obviously based around a low-budget, but its amazing what they were able to produce. The excitment and suspence this movie provides is what you usually get out of a High-budget summer blockbuster. It was simply un-believable for me to think that the whole (yes, from start to finish) is based in 1 signle location, which is a "Phone booth" (like the title suggests). I kept thinking they'll switch scenes and the events would go further into different locations (just like any other movie), but i was proved wrong. The story is about a guy (Colin Farrel), scum of the earth, one of those ppl who don't deserve respect or even life. Cheating on his wife, friends and work, an anonymous person decides to punish him through a phone call for his sins. Throughout the movie, "Colin farell" starts to realise his sins, while the anonymous person plays God, and its up to you to decide who's the bad guy.. Like i previously stated, this movie is excellent and a very fresh change. I highly recommend it, as a "rental" though, ONLY due to the fact its "re-watch" value is almost 0, as in, its one of those movies that you only can watch once(But that's me and most ppl who watched it). Ofcourse, if u feel u can watch it more than once, you can always BUY it.

Summary: Interesting premise, but
Review: OK, the previews looked really cool, the premise sounded great, but there was only so far this could go and it stretched itself thin. It was entertaining enough to see once, and Colin Farrell is a decent actor, but I can't imagine seeing this twice, at least on purpose. Definately a rental, can't recommend owning it.

Summary: Moving
Review: This movie was excellent and it also helped for me being in love with Colin. Thats besides the point. Phone Booth had a great story line and great actors. When stu was confessing about him wanting to cheat on his wife and talking about him thinking he was better than everyone else, was a moving speech. when he was crying i got tears in my eyes. It was so sad. Colin was sexy.

Summary: bad marketing, good movie
Review: A man answers a rining phone, and then his life is threatened. He must stay on the phone or a sniper, whom he can't see, will kill him. The sniper proves himself not afraid to kill by offing a toy robot and then a strip club owner. Stu, the guy in the booth, must tell his wife he's a fake and break up with his girlfriend or someone (Stu, wife or girlfriend) will get shot. That is the basic story, and more than I knew going into the theatre. I bought tickets because what I wanted to see was sold out, and blindly sat to watch a movie I was told "wasn't too bad" by the ticket seller. Forrest Whittaker is in this, as well as Colin Ferrel and Katie Holmes. If Kiefer Southerlands name was in the begining, I didn't see it. All through the movie the voice of the sniper sounded familiar, but I couldn't place where from. At the denoument of the film, when we realize the outcome, I was probably the only person in the theatre surprised to see Keifer. Outside of the fact that I can't understand why a sniper would single out ONE man because he's phony, the movie is interesting. Or maybe it's just because I spent the entire movie trying to recognize a voice everyone else knew was there. Toss the cover and wait a few years to watch this one. The cast is good, but the movie is spioled when you know eveyone in it right away.
