Phone Booth

Phone Booth

 

Joel Schumacher (8 MM, FALLING DOWN) directs this suspense drama set in New York City's Times Square. A wannabe hotshot entertainment publicist who's more intent on posturing for... more...his unpaid assistant than he is in actually working, Stu Shepherd (Colin Farrell) ducks into a phone booth to make his regular afternoon call to his girlfriend (Katie Holmes). Stu stops in the same phone booth at the same time every day to flirt with the young girl, who does not know that Stu is happily married with no intention of dating her seriously. When Stu says goodbye to his girl and sets down the receiver, he picks up a call from a threateningly sarcastic man with a deep voice. This man seems to have been tracking Stu's visits to this booth every day, and suddenly Stu knows that his secrets are no longer his own. Soon, the caller identifies himself as a sniper and begins shooting. Police are called in, and Stu must use his PR skills in a final test to get out of the booth, alive. This compelling drama, expertly crafted for maximum tension, will keep audiences nervously awaiting its outcome, unable to look away from the screen for even a moment.

I think this movie concept is break all the rules of hollywood movies. This movies has only one main shooting location, the phone booth at the New York City's Times Square. It shot from different angle and can create a wide variation and more dramatize moment.

Its all about Stu Shepherd (Colin Farrell), who regularry use the public phone booth to call his girlfriend Pamela (Katie Holmes) and not using his cellphone for avoiding his wife trace his affair. The insight picture when he call Pam is revolutionary and become more popular use for another film and tv series such as '24'.

One day, the last day that phone booth exist before torn out by phone company, Stu pick up a stranger call, first time he think its wrong number, but suddenly its more complicated because the caller know everything about Stu, about his biography, his affair, and even his expression. The caller watch Stu from one of the window and start to threat gonna kill a random people if Stu hang up the phone

This movie grab audience attention by the caller voice which sound so misterious, and audience must hold their seat to watch psycho drama and think hard to figure it out who is the caller identity.
