Stills from the The Call:

Critic's response:

Regular cat and mouse with a maniac. At this time in the rapid whirlpool suspense is drawn heroine played by Oscar-winning Halle Berry. The result is more than lamentable. Curly mulatto Jordan (Berry) running operator 911. Once it even professional and banal human stupidity led to the death of the girl-blonde at the hands of a maniac. Jordan went into depression, refused to accept phone calls and, paradoxically, took up coaching colleagues. But once again the case makes the heroine to take the operating chair and - oh, great superhuman luck - she calls again the victim kidnapper. At this time, another blonde kidnapped from the supermarket and put the villain in the trunk of a red "Toyota". Now Jordan will not tolerate failure and will do everything to save the unfortunate. Halle Berry is the kind of actress that after take-off (we all remember her heartbreaking crying when receiving the "Oscar", caused by the change of racial prejudice in the fashion tolerance) inevitably fall down the ladder. Participation in a catastrophic failure "Catwoman" led to a series of roles, leaving no trace in the big art. Even the much-talked his multifaceted spirituality "Cloud Atlas" is not created with Berry next miracle, the role of revelation, alas, did not. "Emergency Call" - is no exception. Replacing hair and turned into a visual analogue Whitney Houston, actress, alas, can not boast of luck. To act in the new "bodyguard" - a favorite of viewers thriller at all times - it was not meant to be. Directed by "challenge" Brad Anderson (seems directors with that name cropped up in America like mushrooms) previously had a hand in a number of TV series, the film "The Machinist" with Christian Bale incredibly losing weight and a pair of triple less notable paintings. In his new film, he did his best to his heroes could not be a drop of sympathy and compassion. Characters behave so deliberately stupid, it ceases to be scary at first, and then - even ridiculous. Non-standard ending promised not possess originality. "I wanted to surprise you," - sung in a well-known song. But the surprise here can only unprecedented degradation of the genre, which is the best of times, apparently forever buried in the '80s.
