Review of The Call (2013) by Stephan K — 17 Aug 2014
Wow, this movie turned out to be much better than I expected it to be. I got the Blu Ray sind it's release and now in August finally watched it. Halle Berry plays a pretty convincing 911 operator that loses a PR.
She tries to go on but can't so she becomes a teacher of future operators, but as fate will have it (Probably the scipt too) she get's inelolved in a kidnapping case and tries literally everything to find that girl.
You may ask yourself: Why don't they just trace the call and find the location: Warning next sentence is a mild spoiler: Because it's a disposable cellphone lacking a GPS chip (which is the reason why criminals love them so much).
Well she's on the phone for hours, which really speaks for this cheap-ass phne. Good battery.. In general we have a few product placements in this movie but strangely enough also some really mssed oportunities for great placement but back to my review.
. The movie takes you in practically from Minute 1 and never lets you go. Of course I won't spoil the ending but it's slightly stupid and pretty much the only negative thing I can say about this movie.
There is also a very nice cameo in the movie which TV Fans will realy appreciate. So all in all: Go buy the blu ray and support a good movie. The Blu Ray is fantastic when it comes to picture and the DTS HD Master 5.
1 Track. Didn't check the extras though.
