Cellular is one of the best thrillers of 2004, other than collateral starring tom cruise. Cellular had a real good plot and pretty good acting. Evans, Basinger, and Statham and don't forget Macy did a good job for their performances. Cellular... Full review

Yet one's incredulity at the narrative's absurd twists and turns (scripted by Chris Morgan from an idea by Phone Booth scribe Larry Cohen) doesn't preclude enjoying the film's substantial pleasures.....Of course not, and thankfully, David R. Ellis's vigorous Cellular doesn't bother attempting to smother its ludicrousness with a coat of realism.....One of the best Hollywood pop films of 2004, Cellular gets a handsome audio/video treatment on this New Line Platinum Series DVD.....It's a lively track but nothi ...

he's unflappably dignified even when the movie does its best to demean him.....promise of his previous film, the awful Final Destination 2 , for keeping this so tight....Chris Evans ( The Perfect Score ) is wonderfully ingratiating as Ryan....Which may well be the best metaphoric description of the film itself:.... ...
