This Claustrophobic, High-Intensity, Roger Ebert-Approved Psychological Thriller Is One of Kiefer Sutherland's Best Movies
Joel Schumacher's thrilling R-rated mystery Phone Booth, starring Colin Farrell and Kiefer Sutherland, is one of the best of the early 2000s.
No thriller can work if we don't have a compelling antagonist and protagonist opposing each other. This is especially true of 2003's Phone Booth, written by Larry Cohen and directed by Joel Schumacher. The vast majority of the plot is little more than a man in a phone booth talking to an unseen sniper who has a gun trained on him. Colin Farrell is our flawed hero, and nothing matters if we don't sympathize with him and cheer for his character to make it out alive.
