Cellular
- Rating:
- Director: David R. Ellis
- Starring: Chris Evans
- Details: US / 94 mins (15s).
Kidnapped teacher Basinger manages to resurrect a mangled cellular phone (and her career) to contact the outside world in this modest thriller. The story is one-dimensional but it does contain enough twists and turns to sustain the tension, with the always watchable William Macy stealing the show as an offbeat cop.
