Phone Booth

Stu Shepard (Colin Farrell) is a devious, self-centered public relations man who tries to balance a busy career with both a wife, Kelly (Radha Mitchell), and a mistress, Pamela (Katie Holmes). Stu goes into a phone booth on a busy street in New York to make a call to Pamela without Kelly finding out, but as soon as Stu hangs up, the phone strangely begins to ring. Baffled, Stu picks it up -- and a stranger on the other end (Kiefer Sutherland) tells him that if he hangs up the phone, he will be shot. The red dot of an infrared rifle scope persuades Stu to think that the caller means business, and when another man tries to make his way into the booth, he's shot mere inches from Stu, grabbing the attention of the police. Captain Ramey (Forest Whitaker) instinctively assumes that Stu was the shooter, as Stu struggles to find a way to convince the police of what's going on before more lives are lost, without stepping out of the booth and putting his own life in danger. Colin Farrell played his part to a tee, and was able to deliver an entire scene by himself in one try. An amazing movie that I strongly recommend seeing on DVD.
