Cellular (2004)
4/10
Not that impressive
12 August 2005
I don't think 10 years from it's release, this will be a notable film of 2004. It starts out with a guy named Ryan (Chris Evans) who no way, in hell looks 20 years old, but more like 30. The beginning deals with the typical subject of young guys being obsessed with girls and vice versa, his girl (Jessica Biel) breaks up with them, in a situation too clichéd for me, where he drives home from his typical day at the beach surfing and slacking off. Then a lady (Kim Basinger) and her young boy gets kidnapped, and the plot unfolds with, Ryan being the action man. One thing that makes this sort of a lame show, is it could be a blockbuster action hit,with today's biggest stars, like John Travolta, and Joaquin Phoenix in Ladder 49. But also seems like an action move about a young punk, aimed strictly at young people, like myself, especially when the boy's name is Ricky Martin! although he proves to be much more than that. Lenght doesn't seem to be problem unless, it is reasonable, but because of many of some of the flaws of the movie, it being short also added on to being corny , with this being an action movie, not for the family. And Wiliam H. Macy, is one actor who, just irritates me, the fact that he's in everything, and because of that his high, weird voice bugs me even more, being that he's such a well-acclaimed actor. And the finale seems like a desperate, and mischosen spot for the finale, being a popular tourist beach in southern California. But the violence and suspense, make the movie very stressful, with the boy being stolen and soon, all three of them, the mom, her husband, and her son being held hostage by the kidnappers.
