a very good film, 15 January 2005
10/10
Author: missgreenelf from United Kingdom

I love the film phone booth. I think it is very clever that for an 80 minutes the film can hold one character in a phone booth and keep the story going without boring the viewers. Colin Farrell is brilliant as an arrogant pr guy that goes through a range of emotions, and comes out the other side a better person, and with keifer Sutherland as the sniper that keeps him trapped there, that was excellent casting cause he has such a chilling voice.

I also think that the cast and crew did a terrific job considering the film was shot over only 10 days. I would suggest to anyone that hasn't seen this film to do so, cause it not so far outside the possibility that it could happen to you. which makes it great.
