The plot in "Phone Booth" starts about 10 minutes in when Colin Ferrell tries to use a phone booth and he gets a mysterious call.He thinks that it's just a prank call but the guy on the other end of the phone tells Colin that if he hangs up, he'll die.Now I love movies with interesting premises.I liked how "Crank" revolved around a guy who had to keep his adrenaline up or he'll die.I liked how "Cellular" revolved around a guy who had to stay connected to a kidnapped woman on a phone or she'll die.Movies that have these kinds of premises are always fun to watch."Phone Booth" is just that kind of movie.Given the short running time of 75 minutes without the end credits, it's good to know that the film isn't 2 hours because I don't think anyone wants to see a guy in a phone booth for 120 minutes.The film would REALLY start to drag if it were that long.Luckily, we're left with a short yet entertaining thriller that has plenty of room for a sequel, which would be nice.
