Unkown amount of garbage

Cinematography and sound was good but story and acting was horrid. This had more clichés than Debbie does Dallas' male participants. The guy literally can't overpower his ex, typical divorced couple who extremely hate each other but managed to have a child together, panicked wife having a meltdown, and all the common crap we've seen in stupid phone booth hostage movies.

Lets not even start with the acting and terrible voice behind the phone, the overly abused fake laugh mastermind nerd, been done a million times. The way Jill told her boyfriend that there's a bomb and he does not even flinch! WTF!? The slutty wife must of used that line many times before. Jill then panics over a name as if it's going to help the situation. The gun man that is everywhere, he can get a shot off on you from any direction while still managing to target the inside, must of been 4 shooters atleast. (Sentry guns, OH COME ON!)

I seriously felt aggravated from watching this and I am only 40 minutes in, struggling to finish this piece of *beep* movie. Jill stfu! Stupid house wife who is lonely because her husband was busy making money for her, the unappreciative whore. Ahhhh, f this movie!

I'm sure you were pleased that the ending opened up a possible sequel!

On a smaller level, the CGI work on everything was really just annoying as heck.

My favorite part was the photoshopped picture of the three young men from high school. You could easily tell that their heads and faces didn't match each other. Easily some of the worst photoshop work I've ever seen, and frankly that should have been the easiest part of the movie to pull off.

Poor attention to small details leads to a lack of effort in the bigger stuff.

OP why do a horrible job of photoshop? Because they can and get away with it.

It was just awful, I agree. It's like someone took the worst elements of 4-5 different 'stuck in a room' thrillers and made this half hearted turkey. The movie is about 90 minutes so I'm assuming that's how long it took the write this drivel too, since it clearly never even got a second draft.

A movie like this, with limited characters and settings, needs good acting and great writing because everything else is so minimal. This had neither and seemed like it would never end.
