Cellular

Pros: William H. Macy. Entertaining movie.
Cons: Characters could have been developed more. Few things were unbelievable.

It seems like most people have cell phones now. They can come in handy at times, but they can also cause some problems when people are busy talking on them while driving. For several years, cell phones have been used by characters in movies, though ...

Pros: Basinger and William H. Macy, great action, great idea for a story
Cons: as with all action films; some cheesy dialogue

A phone call comes through on your cell phone. You answer it, not recognizing the number showing up on your screen. A woman, hysterical, on the other end of the phone is pleading for your assistance. She claims to have been kidnapped, and has dialed ...

Pros: Basinger, Evans, and Macy; Interesting plot
Cons: Could do without some of the filler scenes.

You’re driving along in your car, minding your own business. Suddenly, your cell phone rings and even though you don’t recognize the incoming caller’s phone number, you answer anyway. The woman claims her life is in danger and pleads with you ...

Pros: Nice cast, original idea
Cons: Slows down too much for the ending

In the opening scene of Cellular, Kim Basinger is shown taking her son to school, then she returns home. Her housekeeper informs her that a message is waiting on the machine. Before she can check it, armed men burst through the back door and ...

Pros: Macy and Evans, fast-paced
Cons: violence, profanity

I’m generally not a big fan of thrillers, so when Cellular hit the theaters a couple years ago I barely noticed. But last night I saw it with a friend, and while I wouldn’t go out of my way to watch it again, I’ll admit it’s a ...

Pros: Taut action. Great performances. Unpredictable plot twists. Great finish.
Cons: Implausibly absurd. Some will have trouble getting into a film they consider so stupid.

I'm not sure how I ended up viewing this film. One look at the trailer sent my upchucking mechanism into "stand-by mode." I think it was my wife. She drags me to movies I'd otherwise only read about. I'll never forgive her for Moulin Rouge, ...

Pros: solid performances, intriguing plotline, surprisingly much humor
Cons: predictable and somewhat generic, does drag on a bit too long at the end

September has seemingly become the dumping ground for suspense and action thrillers. Already this month, we've seen Suspect Zero (which is quite possibly one of the worst films I've ever paid money to watch), Wicker Park and ...

Pros: Ryan =)
Cons: Nokia.....Must get..Nokia...

After helping out my boyfriend's best friend wedding proposal to his girlfriend (In my opinion, I believe she is too young to be wed now--she's a 10 or 11th grader. But I trust them with their decisions, so best wishes for them both!) and getting my ...

Pros: William H. Macy, newcomer Chris Evans
Cons: Kim Basinger

Cellular first and foremost asks us to suspend our beliefs in a few areas. Once past those, it's a pretty good movie, but "those few areas" are a bit hard to swallow. For starters, Hollywood's A-Number-One, First-Class Ditz, Kim Basinger, is ...

Pros: Some funny parts with the secondary characters
Cons: Plot annoying as listening to someone loudly talking on their cellular phone in public

Just got back from this movie about an older woman (Kim Basinger) who is kidnapped and dials out to a stranger's cell phone for help. Tonight my wife and I wanted to catch an action movie that didn't require too much thinking. With a good title and ...

Pros: Very entertaining, pretty good cast.
Cons: Lackluster comedy, some irrational & unrealistic events/decisions made by the main character

After having watched this movie last night, and thinking back on it today, I'm really questioning myself as to why I liked it. It had good action, decent suspense and a few half-hearted attempts at humor. Besides Jason Statham and William H. Macy(I ...

Pros: Unique and interesting story, suspenseful, exciting, humorous.
Cons: Some bad acting, a little predictable at times.

I really didn’t think that Cellular was going to be as good as it actually ended up being. I don’t believe the previews did good justice to it, as they made it seem like another cheesy action flick. And in effect of a boring afternoon, ...

Pros: Cast, action, script
Cons: premise

CELLULAR is a fun if highly improbable action adventure that should be a nice launch vehicle for its unknown star, Chris Evans, first seen in the dud, NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE. Set in cellphone-crazy Los Angeles, kidnappers grab science teacher mom, ...

Pros: Very intelligible storyline, good but not great action
Cons: More Jessica Biel would have been nice ;)

Plot summary as written by IMDb Editors: Though she's held captive, Jessica Martin (Basinger) manages to contact an unsuspecting young man (Ellis) via his cell phone. As he becomes her only lifeline to thwarting the abduction of her young son, the ...

Pros: William H. Macy is a brilliant actor.
Cons: Everything else.

Cellular is not a movie. Cellular is a 90-minute long infomerical interspersed with horrendous melodrama that describes just exactly what one can do with a cell phone. If you actually rely on a cell phone as much as Chris Evans does in this film, you're ...
