Fabulous Movie, 2008-10-08
I can't understand why this was not a highly featured film. It is a great action picture, with lots of humor. I've watched it 3 times now, and enjoy it just as much each time.

Chris Evans - Good Man, Jason Statham - Bad Man!, 2008-08-22
A surprisingly good performance by Chris Evans (Ryan), who's the somewhat dorky, macho dude; against the convincingly evil, badman kidnapper, Jason Statham (Ethan). Kim Basinger plays Jessica Martin; a panicked, desperate, tortured, but determined and very ingenious wife of the hunted husband. She also comes up in the clutch as the movie progresses. br / br /The action is fast and sometimes hilarious, with Evans doing the footwork (via his cell phone) in various impossible situations trying to help Basinger (especially when he needs to recharge his phone - a real doozy of a scene). William Macy is Detective Mooney, who eventually puts the pieces of the puzzle together while Ryan (Evans) traverses all over town creating mayhem all his own, while attempting to foil the kidnappers. br / br /Good acting (and action) by Chris Evans, with able support from Basinger, Macy and Statham. A surprisingly entertaining movie.

Never a dull moment., 2008-06-08
Action thriller about a young man (played by Chris Evans) who answers a call on his mobile phone from a woman (played by Kim Basinger) who claims to have been kidnapped and needs his help and the lengths he goes to help her and stop the people who have kidnapped her and her family. A good action film featuring one of my favourite young actors Chris Evans in the lead as well as Brit-flick favourite Jason Statham as a menacing lead villain. A good way to spend 90 minutes or so with never a dull moment. Oh and one more thing: mobile phones feature heavily in this film (as you may have guessed from the film's title).

If you like CORN and CHEESE, then feast your eyes!, 2008-04-14
This movie is just plain lame. Farfetched, cheesy, corny so-called action movie. Kind of a novel concept, but to make a kidnapping action suspense movie out of it just reeks of corn. And BTW, subtitles programmer, "lose" is not spelled "loose"!!!!!!

So bad., 2008-02-29
Don't watch this pathetic movie, it's horrible and I am being kind. Cellular was marketed as a suspense thriller but it is full of fluffy jokes and robotic acting. Chris Evans is nice to look at but he has no emotional depth and Kim Basinger should know better than to pick this as a serious role. The only funny part of Cellular is that Ricky Martin joke and that's it. Don't waste your time on this stinker.
