movie review.

instead of studying the boring microbiology and complicated pathology, i watch a movie. titled "Phone Booth". the actor is not well known.it is a good movie. but the script. banyak mencarut je. the title sounds weird, isn't it? but don't look at the title like 'dont judge a book by its cover'. it is kind of thrilling movie but it is a not-so-really-give-me-goosebumps movie ( what a weird sentence.hihi.)

sape2 yg nak tengok citer ni, please skip the part below. and if you feel that watching 1 and half hour movie is wasting your time and you prefer study more, you may read the review below.

what is this movie about?

there is guy named stu, he is a publicist. at the beginning of this movie, he keeps talking on the phone walking on the busiest street in New York. together with him is his assistant, named Adam. then, when they dismissed, Stu get to a phone booth. while using the phone, someone come to give him pizza, saying that someone ordered that pizza and asked him to deliver it the person who occupied the phone booth at that exact time. he shoo him away, saying f word. what a rude he is.then he called a girl named Pam, talking about something but i do really think he is flirting with her, then suddenly something popped in my mind, dont he has a cellphone, why use the phone booth instead of his 'trendy' cellphone.( i said it trendy in bracket because it is 2002 movie, dont expect you can see him using iphone) after he hung up with the girl, suddenly the phone rings. when a phone rings, it need to be picked up, right? so, unlucky for him, he picked it up. then a hoarse-scary voice come out from it. he thought it was a prank call, but when the caller call his name, he hesitate to come out from the booth. then the real story began. the caller said that he knows everything about him, about Pam, and about his wife Kelly ( wth, he's cheating!). the caller warned him not to hung up on him if not he will kill him. then some really disturbing-annoying-yerk b****es come and disturbed him and ask him to get out. but he in a deadly situation, do you think he will come out. hell no. then the girls, called their guy friend who is very bad tempered which led them into argument. the guy start to crash the booth, and as Stu cant handle it, the caller shot the guy dead. wooo.so scary, on an extremely street someone being shot. Stu got very shocked. the girls before start shouting at him calling him a murderer and called the police. Stu cant get out, he stuck inside the booth with freaking look on his face. he got a not-really-true shot at his ears. bleeding of course! but not to the extent he will suffer from hypovolumic shock.i dont remember why the caller did that. then the police start to arrive, reporters also. the chief officer try to negotiate with although they dont know he is not the shooter. Stu cant reveal what is happening. so, he keeps trying to please the caller. then come his wife. the caller wants him to tell the truth all about his lies. he have to. at the end he tell her everything, in front of the crowd the reporters the police officers.he doing everything he can to obey all the caller's order. but still the caller didn't satisfied with him. opss, i forget to mention that the chief police officer finally realize that Stu is in danger. then fortunately, he got the caller position. Stu tell the caller that the police know where is he now. but realizing that, the caller threat him, if he is going down then somebody should accompanied him, stu got panicked, he afraid that the caller will kill his beloved wife, he picks up the gun on the ceiling of the booth ( i skipped the gun part.hihi) and rushed outside and shouting " its me the one you want! now, kill me! kill me!"...then a gunshot is heard. Stu fell down. everyone seems so surprised. but luckily, he only being shot by rubber bullet. if not, he will be the dead man already leaving a widow who just knew that her husband is cheating on her. haha. the police get to caller's place and found a dead body, suicide. cutting his carotid artery. and that man was the delivery pizza guy before. the story doesnt end here. when stu is receiving treatment from the paramedic, after being injected by anesthesia, an old-odd looking guy get near him and talk to him. "Stu, you hung up on me, make me no chance to say good bye." as the anesthesia is working diligently, he fell into anesthethic state. the real shooter walk away and gave a glance toward the phone booth. wow! the killer is still out there. so guys, when you pass in front of public phone, never picked it up when it rings..haha..just kidding!
