Phone Booth
A phone call can change your life, but for one man it can also end it. A slick New York publicist who picks up a ringing receiver in a phone booth is told that if he hangs up, he'll be killed... and it's not a joke, with an sniper rifle outside.

Gives a fond remembrance of the days when a thriller actually used its title "Thrill"...

The premise is admittedly a killer -- fun to think about, fun to see realized, not so fun to see screwed up in the last half-hour.

One of the few artistically decent and commercially viable films Joel Schumacher has made over the past decade.

And here it is, ladies and gentleman, an entire 90-minute movie primarily set inside the cramped confines of a phone booth.

This movie doesn't make sense on any level.

If this sounds like a Kafkaesque spoof thrown together for the annual Publicists Guild of America luncheon, Larry Cohen's script is only occasionally that clever.

A first-tier thriller, Phone Booth will make you think twice before you ever enter a public phone facility again, but while it curls your hair, it makes you think.

The next time I hear a payphone ringing, I definitely won't pick it up.

A superficially gritty yet soullessly slick melodrama.

Phone Booth est un excellent suspense, mais aussi un drame psychologique qui s'aura vous divertir.

[A] taut thriller that hooked me from the outset.
