  Cellular Movie - The Hollywood News
Cellular is a film that aspires to be a big ole slam bang dose of dumb fun, sadly however, it was mostly just plain dumb.
Cellular was written by Chris Morgan, but it was based on a story conceived by Larry Cohen who wrote last year's similarly themed Phone Booth.
Cellular features every action movie cliché you can shake a shtick at; Crooked cops, a damsel in distress, a young buck out to save the day, a little boy whose life is threatened if the bad guys don't get what they want, and a seemingly dopey policeman who everyone thinks is dumb, but really isn't.

 Cellular (UK - DVD R2) in Reviews > Video Discs at DVDActive
The film is definitely an ensemble piece, but thankfully all of the main players pull off the necessary requirements of their roles to a tee.
These scenes were removed or shortened to quicken the pace of the film and I tend to agree that their exclusion works better for the film, but the scenes are humorous in and of themselves and should satiate anyone wanting to see more of these two characters.
Cellular isn't the most original or intelligent thriller I have ever seen, but it is held together well by a fast, non-stop pace and good performances from the principle cast members.

 Movie Review - CELLULAR
When the action was filmed again at a later date, American Humane was not made aware of the schedule change and, therefore, did not monitor how the additional footage was acquired.
The “Not Monitored” rating means American Humane’s Film and Television Unit was not contacted regarding animal action in the film and was unable to verify that animals were treated humanely.
Films like Cellular typically receive the “Not Monitored” rating because the film’s producers did not involve American Humane and may not have followed American Humane’s Guidelines for the Safe Use of Animals in Filmed Media.

Cell phones are ubiquitous in contemporary film, but this is one of the few that succeeds in using them to advance the plot in a believable well-integrated fashion.
Cellular is truly a great movie that seemingly came and went on the market, leaving rechargable battery acid in the screens on which it played.
Cellular is a story of a school teacher named Jessica, played by Kim Basinger, who is kidnapped (seemingly for no reason) out of her house after dropping her son off for school.

 Cellular : film review
Larry Cohen penned the screenplay for Cellular when he was striving to sell his script for Phone Booth to Hollywood studios.
Chris Morgan's badly written script is infested with misplaced humour and hammy one-liners that are totally uncalled for in a film whose promotion and marketing campaigns purport it to be a serious psychological thriller.
Even Kim Basinger, despite a few emotional scenes with her son, fails to carry the hefty weight of the film admirably.

 Cellular
At last, a film for all the yahoos with a cell phone soldered onto their ears--a giant eighty-minute billboard for Nokia with characters constantly extolling the virtues of what the Chinese call their hand-engines: "Amazing thing these new cell phones.
Cellular opens with a swooping shot through a peephole into Jessica's gilded life--another take on The Clearing that seems to have as its prime mover the Rodney King beating, of all things.
Defenders of movies like this believe that so long as all the suggestions are in the film, there's no need for there to be any sort of conscious structure or resolution--more, they believe that movies are sometimes just movies instead of mirrors darkly of our culture at this moment.

 Chris Evans/Cellular, Fantastic Four Interview
If a film like Cellular does well, wow, great, that is a wonderful surprise, but if not, that is OK, because it doesn't have to for me to continue to work and for me to feel confident about what I am doing.
While Cellular is a genre film, Evans says that he was gratified that he was able to play a character with a definite arc.
As thrilled as he is working on next summer's big comic book film, Evans insists that part of the attraction of doing a high profile film like that, is to afford him the opportunity to fulfil his greater dream, of starring in smaller, more character-based films.

 Montreal Mirror - Film : Cellular
There is a phone in the attic in which she's being held, but the kidnappers cleverly smash it to smithereens with a baseball bat so she can't use it.
We learn very early on just how much suspension of disbelief this film is going to require: we're supposed to buy that Basinger could rebuild a smashed phone and make it work again.
Cellular is one of those throwaway, silly Urban Nightmare movies.

The actress is in negotiations to take on the lead role in "Cellular," a thriller in which she'll play a kidnapped woman who places a random call, reaching a young man whom she must persuade to help her.
The film is being cast as we speak and is currently in preproduction in Santa Monica so expect so more annoucements in the trades for the other roles as it gets closer to production.

 Cellular - Scathing Reviews for Bitchy People
The rest of the film is largely the story of him finding untapped resources of courage and ingenuity, connecting with his inner James Bond.
We’re at an interesting crossroads in the history of the action film, when Cellular and Paparazzi are released a week apart.
The saving grace of Cellular is that while trotting out those conventions — it’s essentially an extended car chase — it does so with a lightness bordering on satire, giving life to a fun and funny sunlit L.A., where even imminent death can wait for a quick laugh.

 Cellular - Music from the Movies
A committed and uncompromising individual, Ottman’s approach to his craft should be commended in two ways: his tapping of intellectualism in even the smallest details and his unequivocal sense of adventure.
Former stunt coordinator/second unit director/actor Ellis, having Homeward Bound II and Final Destination 2 behind him as director, actively pursued Ottman for Cellular proving the composer’s voice was heavily associated with the genre and that moreover, directors and producers are increasingly becoming the instigators of typecasting, a disease spread, lymph-like, via the incestuous studio system.
The action sections of this cue are highly enjoyable and beg for further development that, although not taken as far one would like, does come in the proceeding tracks on the generous fifty-seven minute release from La-La Land Records.

 U-WIRE.com/FILM REVIEW: 'Cellular' a wild wireless ride   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
In the first five minutes of the film, suburban mom and high school teacher Jessica Martin (Kim Basinger) is taken by strange men who break through the front door and kill her housekeeper.
While this could be tiresome in any other movie, "Cellular" keeps the tension high so the thrills of the movie remain engaging as a random stranger's cell phone is the only link between life and death for Jessica Martin's family.
Although there are a couple of holes in the plotline, they are easy to overlook because the pace of the movie is so fast; there's hardly any time to contemplate the previous scene.

 Cellular - The Hollywood News
Cellular doesn’t ask you to suspend disbelief - to enjoy the movie, you must smash and pulverize disbelief and never acknowledge the possibility that the film takes place in a world even remotely connected to reality.
The two films exhibit a lot of similarities, as this one often comes across as little more than Speed with a cell phone.
Cellular appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

Though the story is rather predictable with a few unpredictable twists and in spite of the tons of assaults on morality and decency, this film is well written, relatively exciting and presents a couple of what I feel are stellar performances.
This film is an excellent example of the CAP Rule of 1000 [Ps.

 Film Blather: Cellular   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
What you expect from Cellular -- what the trailer and the premise lead you to expect -- is a tough, tight, straightforward thriller that functions like a suspense machine; something in the vein of Panic Room, perhaps.
And so the plot is interrupted so that our friend Ryan (Chris Evans), who is stuck on a cell phone talking to a woman who has been kidnapped but doesn't know where she is, can yell at a neighboring driver to get off the cell phone and concentrate on the road.
My position is that the film requires so much of it that it kind of crosses over into not requiring any at all, if that makes any sense.

 Cellular movie review, In Film Australia
The concept remains fresh for most of the running time, although the film’s keenness to make it work can’t subsidise the stifling problems in its execution.
But although the film regularly threatens to break down into shreds of farcical shambles, it never does, and Ellis keeps the plot stumbling along while logic waits at the door.
In some ways Cellular is an example of efficient storytelling – the plot revs forward and only later, once the initial crisis has been developed, does it stop for a breather.

 Cellular (2004)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Whether it's a dying battery, "typical" close call encounters with the villains, car chases that require driving backwards or on the wrong side of the road, director Ellis keeps the pace lightning fast by presenting every plausible hindrance there is to keeping a cell phone signal alive.
The film also boasts a good sense of humor, a lot of it coming from Evans, who handles the comic moments with natural ease (no real surprise, he was also very funny in Not Another Teen Movie).
His best moment comes in one scene where he's in a private school searching for Jessica's kid, flabbergasted over his name (which is particularly funny) and how identical every student looks in the same brand of clothing.

 Cellular - Kim Basinger, Chris Evans, Jason Statham
The film follows an apathetic 20 year-old’s transformation from surfing slacker into heroic figure when fate calls on him to save the life of a kidnapped woman, forcing him to race through the streets of Los Angeles in an effort to locate her.
With no knowledge of Jessica Martin (Kim Basinger) other than her hushed, panicked voice on the other end of the tenuous cell phone connection, Ryan is quickly thrown into a world of deception and murder on his frantic search to find and save her.
CELLULAR is directed by David Ellis (FINAL DESTINATION 2) and produced by Dean Devlin (INDEPENDENCE DAY, THE PATRIOT) and Lauren Lloyd from a story by Larry Cohen (PHONE BOOTH).
