Fatal Call (2012)
4/10
YOU KNOW YOUR CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
2 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The film opens with Mitch (Jason London) running for his life. He then flashback to 3 weeks earlier when he meets Amy (Danielle Harris) at a bar who gives him her number. They discuss the book "Crime and Punishment" which normally indicates a parallel plot (not likely as it is a Russian novel) or theme...such as it is okay to commit a crime for the greater good. Needless to say, this wasn't exploited to its potential.

Mitch falls in love with Amy after a brief intimate one night stand. He discovers she has a rich husband when he bangs on the door. The plot moves around with the many twists and turns as the St Louis Interstate system seen in the background. It spite of the action and the twists, the film is a bit of a lull. I didn't feel sorry for our main character who should have gotten out when he discovered the woman was married. While he wasn't unlikable, he lacked qualities and personality needed to carry the film.

A lower tier rental at best.

Parental Guide: Sex, no real nudity.
