In Hollywood, there are few people who have great sinister voices, and you can count Kiefer Sutherland as one of them, and he plays his voice to perfection in the new thriller which stars Irish actor Collin Farrell in probably what may be his best role to date.
Fresh, hip, and hot actor Collin Farrell plays, Stu Shepard, a low-rent media consultant, who seems to have the hookups of everything, from Concert tickets to hotlines to the hottest celebrities. He is simply Mr. Popular, and his life simply revolves around his cell phone.
Undaunted, his life changes for the worst when he enters a New York City Phone Booth to answer a random call, but sighted within his sights is at the beginning an unseen Sniper voiced by Sutherland, with a rifle aimed right at Stu's head.
When an innocent bystander gets gunned down, everyone around thinks Stu is the Sniper, and a classic standoff begins with the Sniper, Stu, and the police, led by brilliant actor Forest Whitaker.
If Stu hangs up the phone he is dead, but if he hangs on to the phone, Police swat want to end Stu's life as well.
In a cat and mouse struggle and the media hungry press, bring his wife, played by Pitch Black's Radha Mitchell and his girlfriend, played by Katie Holmes.
Phone Booth is a classic Hitchcock type of film, that you can't afford to take a break, otherwise you'd miss this good movie.
Recommended very highly, Phone Booth was slated for release last year, but was pushed back because of the Washington DC Sniper attacks of last year.
Phone Booth is rated '15' for language and violence.
My rating: a 9.75 out of 10.
