THE CALL

 (2013) 94 Minutes, Rated R

Mike's Review:  You pretty much get the whole point of the movie from the trailer.  A 911 operator has a second chance to stop a killer and does everything she can to do it. This movie kind of reminded me of a good 'CSI' episode as it kept you engaged to the end.  I have to admit this was a movie I was going to put off seeing in the theater, but I'm glad I took the time to see it on the big screen.


Best Scene: The ending.  It ties up the loose ends nicely.
Mike's Rating: Matinee - Good enough to see on the big screen, just not at full price.




Beans's Review:  Halle Berry plays a 911 operator, who, in the past, had a kidnapped teenager killed by the kidnapper while the teenager was on the 911 call with her.  This same scenario resurfaces a couple of years later. This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat with the tracking by the officials of the kidnapper.  The tenseness and suspense were good enough to make one speak out during the movie to encourage Abigail Breslin, the kidnappee, to escape the kidnapper.

Best Scenes: One memorable scene is the supposedly dead man in the car trunk with the kidnappee, coming back to life.  The ending was also well done leaving the viewer feeling that the kidnapper was justifiably punished.
Beans's Rating: This movie is on the line of worth the regular price of the movie ticket and matinee price.
