Review of Phone Booth

Phone Booth (2002)
7/10
Average Thriller
29 February 2004
A little different twist on the psychopath-who-toys-with-the-protagonist plot line by keeping him posted at a phone booth. The psychopath manipulates Colin Farrel into confessing some of his 'sins' to his wife and public. Eventually, the police get involved and news people show up as would be expected. The police are under the impression that Colin Farrel is the bad guy at first but figure out there's someone else involved. It was interesting that we don't see the psychopath until the very end of the movie. I was disappointed by the use of the warn out cliche of two police detectives with different ranks clashing. On the positive side, there were some good twists and turns that set it apart from similar movies, but not enough tension and originality to give it more than 7/10.
