| | For the next hour, Stuart (and the audience) are trapped in this phone booth while the police, and the media, surround the booth, assuming that Stuart is incriminated in a murder. | | | After Stuart finishes with Kelly, the pay phone starts to ring. | | | "Phone Booth" is the kind of movie in which the killer occupies such a moral high ground that his intentions seem no different than your neighborhood priest. |

| | Cut to Stu, a fast talking city publicist played by the handsome but possibly a bit of a knob Colin Farrell, and his keen young helper who was called, oh I don’t know, Brian or something it doesn’t matter he’s not in it much. | | | The reason he calls this one client from a landline is so that his wife (Kelly) wont see the number on his mobile phone bill, although considering the amount of calls Stu makes his wife would need a team of 6 people working flat out every day to find this number. | | | This is the beginning of the drama and pretty much where the films takes a downward turn from which it doesn’t recover. |

| | Director Joel Schumacher works up a tidy sense of suspense as the killer (Kiefer Sutherland) taunts and threatens Stuart Shepard (Colin Farrell) after gunning down a bystander to prove he means business. | | | The problem with Phone Booth is not so much the way it's made, but who it is about. | | | The performances are decent; Farrell works up a showy head of steam, even though he is confined to the phone booth for most of the movie. |

| | Flipside Movie Emporium: Phone Booth Movie Review |
| | A project like Phone Booth should be on his docket more often. | | | Phone Booth isn't concerned with watching him think his way out of his predicament -- he has no real strengths upon which to draw -- but rather with locking him in the box and letting him squirm. | | | The whiff of hypocrisy lingers on every frame, and the simplistic Catholic analogies are inescapable, with the phone booth serving as transparent confessional and Sutherland as the voice of God (the soundtrack even reverberates his dialogue to make it appear omnipresent). |

| | He's a pawn in a one-sided game that may only end with his death. | | | Forrest Whitaker provides solid support as the policeman who refuses to allow a "suicide by cop" to occur on his watch, and begins to believe that Stuart may be a hostage, rather than a hostage-taker. | | | For those willing to accept this approach, Phone Booth will hold together surprisingly well while maintaining a high adrenaline level. |

| | The idea of watching someone talk on the phone to a never-seen assailant for 81 minutes may sound unappealing, but that is where you would be wrong. | | | With tensions at their highest point during the climax, the final scenes of "Phone Booth" are a bit of a letdown--not because they are bad in any way, but because they don't add up to nearly as much as what the film seemed to promise. | | | Nail-biting and absorbing, director Schumacher proves just how visceral a movie can be when there is only one setting involved. |

| | Farrell is reason enough not to hang up on 'Phone Booth' |
| | Gripping in parts, tedious in others, the film works best when the action is brisk -- there are points in "Phone Booth" where the plot lags, and that's really saying something given how short the movie is. The second major flaw lies in the story: Stu really isn't all that bad. | | | "Phone Booth," by the way, initially was meant to be released last year, but the real-life sniper situation had 20th Century Fox shelving the movie for a while (a good idea). | | | And 20 minutes after meeting Stu, your head starts to hurt for the guy. |

| | Although location-based and gritty as a gunshot, there is never a moment when you are not aware that this is what movies are made of, the manipulation of emotion by artificial means. | | | Phone Booth is quintessential New York - filmed in New Orleans - lippy, scammin', aggressive, sweaty, exciting, sexy and frenetic. | | | The film is anything but static, despite having as its plot devise a man trapped in a phone booth by an unseen sniper, controlling the action with his high-powered rifle. |

| | Despite an even more distracting, omni-present electronica score by Harry Gregson-Williams ("Armageddon," "Enemy of the State," "Spy Game"), Schumacher maintains a precision grasp on the anxiety level throughout most of the film. | | | Ranging from the forgivably illogical (why post SWAT sharpshooters on rooftops when a dozen cops already have Stu clearly in their sites?) to the insultingly hackneyed (a slasher-movie-like it's-not-over-yet epilogue), such machinations show that even when working with a novel idea and a small budget, the director still can't shake his ingrained Hollywood hokum instincts. | | | "Phone Booth" review (2003) Joel Schumacher, Colin Farrell, Kiefer Sutherland, Katie Holmes |

| | Phone Booth Greg's Preview - Yahoo! Movies |
| | Even if this movie has nothing else in common with Hitchcock's idea, except the phone booth, it would still be "kinda cool" to think of this as an extension of an unrealized Hitchcock idea. | | | I think the renewed interest in experimentation is a reflection of the exasperation of the "blockbuster formula" (think Batman and Robin) not always working, so someone like Joel Schumacher would rather return to making movies with smaller scopes. | | | Another way to say it is that he can't leave the booth. |
