Leave your thoughts about Cellular.
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleThis movie shows you why I have caller ID on my cell phone. Cellular is a fun, exciting thriller with a sense of humor and storytelling. |
| Talking Pictures (U.S.)Tony ToscanoThe film bogs down too much and too often to be entertaining... |
| Movie MomNell MinowThis serviceable little thriller makes satisfyingly clever use of some of today's most universal annoyances and benefits from the always-watchable William H. Macy. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA solid combination of tension and comic relief. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfTo be blunt, Cellular is one silly film, and requires a suspension of disbelief so heavy, a forklift is needed to haul it away by the film's end. |
| Lowell SunAustin O'ConnorIt isn't terrible, even if there are too many moments that rely on the central characters being either extremely stupid or unforgivably forgetful. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittThe sort of swift, entertaining nonsense that's perfect for the drive-in. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBy occupying their roles believably, by acting as we think their characters probably would, they save the movie from feeling like basic Hollywood action (even when it probably is). This is one of the year's best thrillers. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsJohn P. McCarthy'Cellular' moves so quickly and efficiently, you'll wish accessing your voicemail were as easy. |
