Great Acting by everyone in the movie. This movie reminds me of "12 Angry Men," in that it uses a small group of people in a small area to tell a interesting story. It is not too long, so it doesn't... Full review

I like Colin Farell. But this movie will probably go down as one of his flops! Of all the actors in the movie though, his performance was the best. Although every now and then the accent from Eire peaked through! The... Full review

He takes a good portion of the track praising the cast and crew who helped him shoot this film in an amazing ten days.
In these days of Hollywood bigger-is-better movies it's nice to see a director like Joel Schumacher bumps the trend and makes a movie like Phone Booth .

Colin Farrel's superb acting job coupled with a contrasting laid back performance by Forest Whitaker as Police Capt. Ramey aid greatly.
After watching this movie the viewer is left with an uncomfortable feeling something wasn't right.

It takes extraordinary screen presence and a great actor to sustain our interest, and Farrell simply soars at the challenge.

Phone Booth delivers what it promises and provides a satisfying thrill; just dont think about the plot details too much.
Review by Andrew L. Urban: Phone Booth is based on a great idea (supposedly once crossing Alfred Hitchcocks mind and later being scripted in draft form by John Sayles, no less) which would work effectively as a short story or short film.
