Cell phones have really changed since Cellular came out 7 years ago. But one thing hasn't changed that's the writer Larry Cohen's ability to create an outrageous story line about anything whether it's killer babies or sequels to killer babies, flying serpents over New York or teenage werewolves. In this film it's all about an unlucky cell phone user who gets dragged into a kidnapping plot.
Cohen didn't direct or write the final screenplay but his imprint is all over this zany action thriller. The film has a fun cast with William Macy the most interesting character as a cop about to retire and open a day spa. Movie tough guy Jason Statham is also a lot of fun as the scary bad guy.
You have to give Cellular credit since it finds every possible way to milk it's cell phone gimmick throughout the running time of the film.
The whole film is stupid but fast moving fun.
94 minutes.
