The Call Review.

*** The Call *** Review

The Call Starring Halle Berry, Abigail Breslin, Morris Chestnut, Michael Eklund and Michael Imperioli. I thought the film was good and very entertaining. I thought the film was taunting, and an exciting thriller. When it comes to the third act of the film it goes flat and very unbelievable. The script and dialogue was very good, but it’s still very formulaic and cliché that follows the same formula of other generic thrillers. Director Brad Anderson gives us a full blown, edge of your seat thriller with a few surprising twists and turns along the way. Anderson, however, ratchets up the tension, aided by a lean, mean script by Richard D'Ovidio, and managed to keep me on the edge of my seat through most of it until the stupid end. I just hated the ending of the film because it just killed the whole movie with an unrealistic and unbelievable ending. The film has terrific performances from Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin which made the film more believable and very convincing. Michael Eklund, who plays the psychotic homicidal maniac, did an amazingly creepy job. The film was an intense, smart, but predictable edgy thriller. That actually makes you cringe a little bit. Although not unique or original in any way shape or form it’s still very entertaining. For the most part it’s that fun guilty pleasure. I will give this movie a B+.
