Colin Farrell is very awesome. The whole movie is here in this broken phone booth. It's New York again. It's another group of incompetent idiot policemen. At the end. Huo! Isn't this our Uncle Kiefer. Will there be a sequel?. .. Remember a line. Mr. Motherfucker! Mr. Motherfucker!

Classic Schumacher style. Limited to the phone booth scene, the compact plot of psychological impact, and the protagonist Collin, who can create an effect only by dialogue, can make the audience follow the plot firmly during the watching process. Only by hearing the phone ring and wanting to answer the human psychology can highlight the crimes and lies of human beings, and the director's strength lies in it.

Stu: I already told you this is a private conversation. Now, what the fuck do you want?
Capt. Ramey: I just want you to know, that it's safe outside the booth.
The Caller: No, it's not.
Stu: Always get out of the booth. I like in the fucking booth. It's my whole world now, this is my booth and I'm not coming out ever. You hear me? Never.
