^^This. I think so, great great film.

I agree. This is a great movie. Period,. Especially when considering how little the filmmakers had to work with. It keeps the viewer at the edge of their seat inspite of taking place entirely around a phone booth.

I think that filmmakers like James Cameron and George Lucas should learn from this movie. They have forgotten that a good story is the most important aspect of a movie and not just loads of CGI.

P.S: Looking at the OP's posting history shows that he thinks that "A Kid Called Danger" is the greatest movie ever and he gave it a 10/10. That explains why he thought that Phone Booth was a terrible movie.

Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry!

i don't really like the premise of the movie. sorry to add to a troll, but what the heck...

it requires a solid leap right off the bat. seems like a run-on bunch of scenarios.

I agree Splarne, I thought this movie was rather boring. It was simply okay. I think the actors are all fantastic actors but the premise, like you mentioned, was terrible.

Wrong! It's one of the most incredibly brilliant movies of all time :)

I like it.

The concept is interesting and the execution is good. In the end, the performances make the movie.

That pile of dross must surely have won 'The comedy of the year award'.It was laughingly mindless.The behaviour of the three 'Hookers,'was sheer parody,and as for the Pimp with the baseball bat,he had me in stitches.When the *beep* turned up,all crawling about with their knees bent,staring down their rifle barrels as though facing the Red Army,it was too much.At least I had plenty of laughs.

This movie is solid as like i have said nearly 8 years ago in here (i.e. my post dated Jan 20th 2009) it's Colin Farrell's best movie quite easily that he appeared in or starred in and still remains that way as i just finished re-watching it again just now on Nov 3rd 2016 (my previous re-watch was July 11th 2014). i give it a...

7.5-8/10 ; which makes it within my Top 120 movies. it's my 4th favorite movie of 2002.

p.s. the only other movie Colin Farrell was in that stands out from the pack is... London Boulevard (2010) (7-7.5/10 ; which makes it within my Top 208 movies).
