The Call
Casey (Abigail Breslin), who’s trapped in the trunk of a moving car. Worse yet, the heat of the situation gets even hotter when Jordan discovers the abductor is actually a killer she’s spoken to on a past call. Now racing against the clock Jordan will have to pull herself together to save Casey and serve justice to the deserving, but what if she’s already too late?
Not exactly the most challenging role Berry has taken on, but not her worst either, the blame on this one sits squarely on the screenplay. Even while Director Brad Anderson makes multiple attempts to rite this listing ship, the massive holes and plot points for shock factor seem destined to drag this one to the deep. Shy of originality or creativity you also might find yourself saying “It puts the lotion on it’s skin,†mocking our villain on several turns. Still, if you’re looking for a mindless thriller, well, this might just fit the bill, just be prepared to yell at the screen in frustration. In reality more of a rental than anything else, The Call is rated R.
