Leave your thoughts about Phone Booth.
| New York ObserverRex ReedA 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. |
| Star-Democrat (Easton, MD)Greg MakiAs pure entertainment, Phone Booth succeeds as well as any movie released in the past few years. |
| Countingdown.comLarry CarrollA tight, suspenseful, compelling movie that may very well revolutionize the action film genre. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxFor all its high-profile exposure, it's basically a gimmicky throwaway with only a hot star to separate it from direct-to-cable obscurity. That's not necessarily a criticism. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatPhone Booth is a taut psychological thriller about a scary encounter between a vigilante sniper and a self-centered publicity agent who is brought face-to-face with his sins of spin. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonQuick, dirty, and economical, with an on-the-fly energy that Hollywood films rarely evince these days. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThis is the kind of thriller I most enjoy seeing - one that really pulls me in, makes me feel the danger, and keeps me thinking on my way out the door. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressIt would have been quite fascinating to see what Hitchcock would have done with the idea, but he would certainly admit that Schumacher, Farrell and Sutherland have done him proud. |
| Hollywood.comKit BowenPowered by a hard-hitting performance from Colin Farrell, Phone Booth will keep you riveted to your seat--and make you turn that darn cell phone off, for a little while at least. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenIt works, thanks mainly to the actor inside that phone booth, Collin Farrell. |
