So I watched The Call because I love Halle Berry and I was completely distracted by her hair during the preview for the movie.
Basically an entertaining, don't try to think too hard movie. The action sequences were good, and as a woman who lives alone in a big city, I was frightened a few times. People could kidnap me!!!
Abigail Breslin was amazing. I expected no less but still, she did a great job of playing her part and was extremely convincing.
To be honest this was a good movie. My main issue with it is that it was sooooooo FORCED! The storyline to include Halle Berry's character Jordan was completely rerouted at the weirdest times in order for the plot to continue. For example, when getting to the kidnapper's lair, the smart thing to do would be to call the police: Jordan tries to do that but Oops, she drops her phone into the lair... better go down and get it. Now that she's down there... she can't just climb back up and find signal to call the police... I mean...she is already down there, geez!
This was just one of many plot manipulations that took away from the movie. However, I would still classify it as a good rental.
Best Line: "half your calls will be people asking directions to the nearest McDonald's"
If you liked Cellular with Chris Evans, you would like this movie.
