Cellular

So-so thriller that is too intense for tweens.

Cellular, based on a story by Larry (Phone Booth) Cohen, is a mobile phone thriller starring Nokia - it's depressingly implausible

It's the classic Hitchcock 'wrong man' set-up, pulled off with wit, energy, and a healthy sense of the ridiculous.

It's mad, bad nonsense of the summer, popcorn variety, disposable but oh-so-much fun to endure, a roller coaster on a wobbly cinematic track.

Much like writer Larry Cohen's other telephone thriller, Cellular is an exuberantly silly, more than a bit over-the-top B-movie thriller told with far more flair than it probably deserves.

...a rather irresistible premise that's employed to briskly-paced and often engrossing effect...

Neither Macy nor Basinger nor the intriguing setup nor the bursts of situational wit can rescue this thriller from joining the category of movies that are so bad they're good.
