Really fun dumb thriller

Cellular is a tightly paced thriller rife with a lot of dumb conveniences that just work in the execution of it all, making it very easy to get invested in. It's 94 minutes of escalating problems that keeps everything on its toes and has the right amount of characters in the mix so it can juggle a lot of different elements to maintain a high energy. It's a testament to screenwriter Chris Morgan's talents for writing satisfyingly dumb movies.Chris Evans comfortably rises to the task and remains likeable throughout as he tries his best to save the day, eschewing the early cynicism quickly. Kim Basinger gives the best performance by spending a lot of time in a panicked state without losing her urgency and William H. Macy is the unexpected MVP. Jason Statham gets to play the villain in a nice change of pace even if the role is so generic it could literally be anyone else.David R. Ellis' direction has plenty of early 2000s stylings and brings a lot of dynamism to proceedings in a way that stands out more now. There's a couple of intense car chases, clever switch ups and tense shootouts that ensure this is always a blast. The humour is less successful but it's still mostly well implemented and the score by John Ottman has all the required bombast to really sell the high stakes.

Although released back in 2004 - gives current movies a 'run for their money'

As mentioned in my title, although this motion picture was made 17 years, from the the get go it 'pretty much' keeps viewers engaged. Taking into account that the acting is a tad ordinary, I found overall the storyline & action scenes merit the rating I have given this production. You will find a young Jason Statham play a baddy for a change.

So if you are looking for a fast paced engrossing show, this one is for you!
