I think that last review was pretty harsh, although he/she did say it was just their opinion. While Beeper isn't a great movie, it did the two things that I beg of a movie: (1) I didn't know what was going to happen next, and (2) I WANTED to know what was going to happen next. I agree that Harvey Keitel seemed to be looking a little long in the tooth in this film. It was a low budget movie, so I place the bar accordingly. I also agree that the kid wasn't the best actor (to say the least). But I thought the story itself...which is most important to me...was solid and engaging. It also seemed to avoid cliches; thank you for that. I think this is the same guy who did "The Hidden", and while it's not as good as that classic, I have to say I really did enjoy "Beeper".
