Cellular phone booth, 19 May 2004

I recently caught up with this film on DVD format. Any film with Jeff Bridges in it, is worth a view, in my book. Dominique Forma directed, as well as contributed to the screen play. The people involved with this film probably started with a different idea in mind, but it appears they had no clue as how to resolve the main problem behind the story. The end result does not satisfies the viewer, but the ironic twist at the end makes one be glad for the young man who finds a pot of gold without even trying.

The comparison between this film and Joel Schumacher's "Phone Booth" comes to mind, as indicated by some contributors' comments. The only thing is this one takes place inside a van, and not on the street. It has a lot going for it, but the conclusion leaves many questions unanswered. Also, there are many things that are obvious to fans of this genre, such as the crazy old man who is in the background of the story and we sense he is nowhere as mad as he wants people to believe he is.

The acting is good. Jeff Bridges shines as Jimmy Berg, the object of the kidnapping. Noah Wyle has a smaller role in the film, but he's just as effective as the man who wants to protect Jimmy's life. Madchen Amick should be seen more often. R. Lee Ermey, Bob Gunton and Jon Abrahams play some of the other interesting characters in the film.
