Just when you think it's getting silly, Cellular serves up another tantalizing twist. In the time-honored tradition of Sorry, Wrong Number and Wait Until Dark, Kim Basinger is well-cast as a resourceful damsel-in-distress who thwarts her kidnappers by connecting with a n'er-do-well cell-phone user (Chris Evans, later seen in The Fantastic Four) who races against time to rescue her from afar. One good cop (William H. Macy) assembles clues to uncover conspiracy, while first-time writer Chris Morgan and pulp-movie master Larry Cohen (who conceived the plot, similar to his own Phone Booth screenplay) serve up a consistently satisfying string of high-tension surprises. Jason Statham continues to prove his rising-star status as the film's tenacious villain, and director David Ellis (Final Destination 2) takes advantage of his experience as a veteran stunt coordinator and second-unit director, making good use of locations in his native Santa Monica, and wringing credible suspense from a deliriously far-fetched premise. --Jeff Shannon

 My Neice wanted this movie January 15, 2010
T. Francisco (Huntsburg, OH.)
My neice enjoyed it very much. I saw the movie and thought it was ok.
 A Great Movie!! December 13, 2009
J. Harris (Boston, MA)
This is a very good movie to watch on Bluray. The sound and action are 4 times better than a regular dvd.
This is a solid movie with a great performance from Chris Evans especially. He was also good in Street Kings but this movie his ability comes through.
William H Macy and Kim Basinger also do great as well. Jason Statham , Mr Transporter actually plays a bad guy very well which I thought was good to see another side of him.
This movie will take you on a roller coaster ride involving 1 single cell phone conversation.
Buy the Bluray and enjoy the ride.
Great and on time October 17, 2009
Amber Jean (Rio Vista, TX)
My item was shipped on time and in the condition it was described. I would use this person again!
 For a really bad movie, press 1... July 10, 2009
Scorpio69 (Hawaii, America's Paradise)
There is a major problem with making a movie centered around gee-whiz technology: It almost immediately looks dated. The cell phones used in this cinematic sleeping pill look primitive by today's standards. This could be overlooked if the story was compelling, but this one isn't. It is a totally unbelievable setup that begs the question: "Dude, why don't you just get this babe's info and call 911?" Instead our hero fumbles around in a police station that apparently has no police on duty; steals a car; causes numerous traffic accidents; holds up a store at gunpoint; etc., etc., etc. Kim Basinger does her emoting best to add some real drama to this snooze fest, but it is out of place as the whole show is so utterly stupid.
 Great example of high-concept film making April 18, 2009
Genevieve Hayes (Australia)
A kidnapped woman (Kim Basinger), locked in a room with a broken phone, must rely on the young man (Chris Evans) who answers her desperate call for help on his cell phone, in order to save her from certain death.
"Cellular" is such a perfect, by-the-numbers, example of a high-concept action blockbuster, that within about five minutes of starting this film, I felt certain that I had every plot twist for the next 90 minutes figured out. What impresses me so much about this film is that I hadn't. Writer Chris Morgan takes the concept of a man on a phone call that he cannot hang up, and moves it in every direction imaginable and some that I didn't see coming. The script is neatly put together, and although it is unlikely to go down as one of the greatest action movies of all time, it is funny, smart and keeps you wondering what is going to happen next, right to the end.
As a side note, people who are thinking of watching this film because of Jason Statham (whose picture features prominently on the DVD cover), should be aware that Statham's role is relatively minor. This is Chris Evans's film, not Jason Statham's. Nevertheless, I watched this film because of Statham, and, although I was somewhat disappointed that he didn't have a bigger part, I feel that I ultimately won out, since I doubt I would have watched this film otherwise, and it was well worth watching.
