Cellular [DVD]

Watchable action yarn
Imagine going about your day, minding your own business. The phone rings. It's a stranger, kidnaped and pleading for your help. You are her only chance...I hadn't heard about this film until recently and I can't recall it ever being on tv either, so I was unsure what to expect. It gets off to a very shaky start. It cuts from Basinger in a fairly gritty kidnap scene to Chris Evans on a beach having trouble with his valley girl ex-scenes which feel like they belong in some teen rom-com. However, the film improves as it goes on, with a better balance being developed between humor and drama and a semi-decent twisty turn plot moving on. Evans does a good job of portraying a vulnerable hero way above his head. Kim Basinger is miscast as a science teacher [ok...] but does her best. Jason Statham plays one of his few full villain rolls, and sadly doesn't show a lot of his trademark charisma, being only given a standard heavy part. William H. Macy is the best part of this film in his supporting part, adding a good deal of humor and screen presence, especially in the finale.The film reminds me of another Statham film, Chaos. Its nothing major and quickly forgettable, but its solid 90 mins entertainment.

Edge of the seat.
As a JS collector, this one of his better ones. He plays an outright baddie is this one and plays it well. Quite a lot of this film is on edge of your seat watching.Bad points? Can't think of any. Little niggles may be but that is all.
