Phone Booth (2002)

Trending

A man is held captive in a phone booth by a sniper who, it seems, has an all-knowing eye on his every move. In Phone Booth, Colin Farrell stars as a publicist who, in the midst of a nasty game, ends up on the wrong end. The film runs in real-time, and every second is like an over-coiled spring, which compels the man to talk his way out of his predicament. The tension mounts beautifully, and with limited set locations, you're kept hook-witted with sharp dialogue and an unforgiving sense of urgency.
