"The Call" film review.

The Call

Today I watched (somehow) the movie The Call starring Halle Berry.
I am really surprised that Hollywood makes such type if Rubbish. The IMDB score of 6.7added salt to my wound. How a rubbish film be given such score.

Director: Brad Anderson

Stars 
Halle Berry as Jordan Turner
Abigail Breslin as Casey Welson
Morris Chestnut as Officer Paul Phillips

The story is about Jordan (Halle Berry) working in 911 helpline number and his she deeply disturbed by the increasing crime in the city and her in help ness in saving the victim.

One such incident where she got a call from a victim who is facing burglary attempt by some robber. Jordan tries to calm down and her window trick was about to succeed in helping the victim to be saved from but alas the phone disconnects and when Jordan redials the robber got hold of her and kidnap and murder the victim. Jordan kind if blames her for the tragedy and lives in a shockwave.

Come another incident when Jordan becomes the instructor for new recruits to handle calls in 911 she accidentally handles another call where a teen girl Casey (Abigail Breslin) kidnapped from a mall 

and dials from the back of the kidnappers car. She was very restless and Jordan tries to calm her down and somehow succeeded. Her tricks suggestions positive vibes helped in taking control of the situation but the patrol team unable to locate her

So Far So Good.  Then comes the worst part of the movie.

They got details of the kidnapper and tried to locate him. But all in vein. Than the super actress Jordan with her logic and gut feeling located the place.

But she didn't dial or inform about it although her boyfriend is also a police officer. She did not felt it necessary to dial the 911. I guess she wanted to do all the action and take the credit that she single handedly rescue her.

In the kidnapper's place it was almost a scene from The classic "Psycho" by Hitchkock. Where the kidnapper skin the victim to preserve the memory of his sister.

Than what happens next ? Will Jordan be able to rescue Casey   or the kidnapper have the final say ! Watch it to find out or you may avoid it.\

My rating 3.8 out of 10
