What's On @ the Movies 2013 - The Call {PREVIEW}

- 16 May 2013

Coming to a cinema near you is a generic thriller that has so much promise, that yes it's hard to deliver and poor Halle Berry has another flop on her hands.

I saw the trailer for this movie countless times in the US when I was there earlier this year. To say I was excited was an understatement. This is the second movie in this vein, Olympus has Fallen looked awesome but it turned out to be utter and I mean utter shit.

The Call showed promise, it was tense, exciting and a fun joy ride (well not for the kid nap victim), however it took a woeful turn for the worst.

Cinema can be a good place to relax and unwind but when you find yourself going from tense moments to laughing out loud at moments which should be taken seriously.

Poor Halle you have to feel sorry for her, after that horrid (yes the critics were right) red hot mess Movie 43, she was globally bagged for her role in Catwoman (I actually liked this film) & everyone I talked to other than me hated New Years Eve.

So after sitting through 96 minutes of this the credits rolled and the whole audience laughed at a SUPER lame ending. Oh boy, it's made over 50 million in the US but here I think it will be lucky to get two weeks at the cinema.

So The Call, it's a call you would avoid kinda like a call from Manila or Mumbai, it rates 1 star cause I feel sorry for Halle.



Don't let the preview excite you too much.
