    #MOVIEMADNESS (27) Movie with your favorite actor I thought he was a douche in his first major role. Then came The Perfect Score and Cellular and ever since he was Johnny Storm, I‘ve been head over heels. So many great movies. Chris Evans 🥰 - Push (2009)

    Introduced my 9-year-old to CELLULAR one of my favorite B-movies. Chris Evans as an everyman hero with William H. Macy as an underdog cop and Kim Basinger as a very resourceful “damsel in distress.” Plus Jason Statham as the bad guy! My kid LOVED it. Parenting win!

    I will always love that Larry Cohen wrote Phone Booth, a movie about a man who can’t get off the phone but can’t move, and Cellular, a movie about a man who can’t get off the phone and has to keep moving, and that they got made within two years of each other

    How Did This Get Made covered Cellular years ago. Larry Cohen wrote Phone Booth and Cellular's original draft. On the podcast, Ike Barinholtz joked that it all began with Beeper. It turns out that there is a movie called Beeper, but it isn't written by Cohen. www.imdb.com/title/tt0252...

    This one really put cellphone technology on the map (the kind you buy at a gas station, or print out at home). Captain America teams up with the guy from Fargo to rescue a mysterious cold-calling blonde woman, and her son/husband, from the most evil LAPD since the LAPD. Hooray! Two thumbs up with prints intact... I didn't know security officers kept little revolvers in their glovebox, and lawyers don't know how to talk their way out of impound fees, and a housewife can resurrect a telephone…

    Deciding what to watch on a Saturday night. A film called ‘Cellular’. Friend & myself decide to give it a go because a film with Mr Statham should guarantee Gun fights, Fisticuffs & car chases’ Which is what we like. Plus for me. Ms Bassinger is in it. And she’s a great actress & easy on the eye.

    This could have been so very much better if only the story had not built the entire sense of jeopardy on three or four implausibly stupid strokes of misfortune. Chris Evans is the recipient of a strange phone call from a woman (Kim Basinger) who has been kidnapped and as she is locked in an attic, she must rely on this random young man to try stop the baddies (Jason Statham etc.) from now reaching her young son and her husband on their quest for we know not what... yet! He goes to the police…
