Phone Booth

CriticsCritics: 64
AudienceAudience: 6.9

A smooth-talking New York publicist answers a ringing phone booth and finds himself trapped by a caller who threatens to kill him if he hangs up. As police gather outside, he must follow increasingly dangerous instructions while confronting the lies shaping his personal and professional life.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a short, tense thriller built around one location and moral pressure; Not for you if you need realistic plotting, deep supporting characters, or consistently believable behavior.
