Colin Farrell, Kiefer Sutherland, Forest Whitaker

A slick New York publicist (Farrell) who picks up a ringing receiver in a phone booth is told that if he hangs up, he'll be killed... and the little red light from a laser rifle sight is proof that the caller isn't kidding.

Pas le meilleur de Colin Farrell... pour vraiment le connaitre ecouter son film irlandais "Intermission" ou l'excellent Bruge

A really great thriller. Nice and short, but straight to the point and done with great style. Reminds me of Tony Scott. Very well done.

I wonder how much Kiefer got paid to just sit on his ass and talk on the other end of the phone line? Sutherland probably has the best agent in Hollywood.

David Edelstein, Slate
The premise is admittedly a killer -- fun to think about, fun to see realized, not so fun to see screwed up in the last half-hour.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
It's cinematic flash, tarted up with gritty gray-blue lighting and gimmicky photography.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
A movie that combines a seriousness of purpose with an impish delight in craft, in a way Hitchcock would have appreciated.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Short, suspenseful, funny, and profane.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The movie is Farrell's to win or lose, since he's onscreen most of the time, and he shows energy and intensity.
