I think its the name the one with colin farrel in it and hes in a (shock horror) phone booth. Watched it the day its a brilliant film anyone else seen it?. I recomend watching it despite the fact that some of the scenes are a bit extreme.

I thought it was a pretty good film. Although a couple of things didn't really make sense - why, out of millions of people who do bad things did he choose someone who just thought about having an affair. This makes me think that the point of the film was a metaphor about concience, and I thought it lacked a little on that level, but was still very good, and very enjoyable. Although the idea of Kiefer Sutherland being the personification of my concience leaves me feeling a little uneasy!!!

He picked him cause thats the window he watched them in. Farrel made to many phone calls there.

Honestly, I thought it could have been better. It was too short. Under 90 minutes. But I know they cut a lot out of it for the American release because of the Washington D.C. sniper attacks that were going on at the same time the movie was being released. I'd like to see the movie the way it was originally intended to be.

I enjoyed Phone Booth, but I agree with Jen that it was too short = less Colin Farrell time :(

I liked it how it was mainly one location..a.nd shot in something like 2 weeks or 20 days, or something like that.
Keifer Sutherland rocks! 8)

Can someone tell me what this film is about? Seen it in the video store a few times, but it's never grabbed my fancy...

The movie's about a publicist (Colin Farell), who has 'fantasies' about cheating on his wife with one of his clients. He never goes through with it, but he's one of the biggest bullshit liar you'll ever meet. He calls his client from a phone booth, so his wife won't be able to trace his calls with his cell phone. the phone in the phone booth rings, and he picks up; this is the beginning of the great stuff; the caller threatens that if Farell hangs up, he'll with kill him. It's a pretty kick ass movie :D I need to really work on my explaining skills, but i hope that at least gets something across :?

i didnt think it was all that great a movie. the length was okay because the film really didnt have any substance to it. it was really boring and i kept wanting there to be something other than the whole "affair" thing. hmmmm, guess i didnt get the movie at all.

But, the idea with shooting it in a phone box was great tho-top marks for that!

I rented it a couple of months ago. It was another one of those movies that I had no desire to see but people kept saying, "You'll be suprised..." I have to admit, it was better than I expected. The only thing was, just before the movie ended, the tape became unwound and wrapped in the VCR so I missed the last 5 mins. of the movie...LOL
