Phone Booth
Scott Hardie: “It was ok.”
The most interesting thing to learn about this movie is that it was originally conceived for Hitchcock. The premise of a morality play for a rude yuppie is so old-fashioned, it's almost quaint. Unfortunately, there's only so far for the idea to go, and the movie becomes very contrived just to last 81 minutes. It also has a needless twist at the end, perhaps a little wink to modern cinema. Schumacher insists on cranking up the tension so much in every scene that it's easy not to notice how well his style sometimes works.
