A slick New York publicist who picks up a ringing receiver in a phone booth is told that if he hangs up, he'll be killed... and the little red light from a laser rifle sight is proof that the caller isn't kidding.

Oh, this was utterly boring. One great big talkie, and they talked about stuff I really didn't care about. This was stupid. Just stupid! It became repetitive and boring. I couldn't wait for this tedious slow-moving-nothing-happening talkie to end, and when the ending finally came, I was like "Oh, whatever...next!"
Loved it! ...Even after I re-watched it third time. Obviously they don't give Oscars for this type of genre, but if a person were to receive one without even making a single appearance in the film then it'd be TheCaller...just for his voice acting which held his weight and tremendous personality.
This is a really great movie and acting performance by Colin Farrel is commendable. The "Voice" of the caller the other side, given by Keifer Sutherland impresses much. Its a different kind of a movie and that's what I love to watch.The movie grows all the more interesting with time and keeps you hold fast to your chair. Excitement is always at the apex and you are always wonder what will happen next. Definitely a must watch! Acting of Colin Farrell and voice of Keifer Sutherland makes the scene alive.Acting performances by all other characters in the movie is also good and Katie Holmes looks pretty in the movie. The entire movie is taken at one place just like 12 Angry Men and Locke. I love this kind of movie and its always a pleasure to watch something new like that.
Those members who whined and gave this a bad review are obviously from a planet where every film made is either Godfather or Matrix.OK, by now we all now the secret behind films like this, the "high concept" stuff that Hollywood insiders pine for. Get the best talent in the biz, in front of, and behind, the camera. And make the budget so attractive that you could raise money from your own accountant over lunch if you had to.And then -- the challenge -- do it, and see if you pull it off.And they did. When these films (two guys in an elevator, a guy hanging from a canyon, a woman lost in space) work, it is a joy to behold.Perfect. Engages from beginning to end.
