Review of The Call (2013) by Sgt. C — 22 Apr 2014

(56%).

An effective cop thriller/horror with a unique in-depth look at a seldom seen aspect of law enforcement that really does highlight how difficult a job it can be on the receiving end of life and death situations. Berry gives a strong, focused performance in the lead role, and young Breslin plays a terrified kidnap victim perfectly that does get somewhat disturbing at times. I didn't really have a big problem with the so-called problem ending as the movie up to that point wasn't exactly flawless, and as far as I'm concerned this is well worth a watch.
