Movie: Cellular (6 of 10)

6 out of 10

Laugh at me all you want, but we enjoyed this movie significantly more than we thought that we would. Additionally, Rotten Tomatoes gives it almost a 6 of 10 to support that it is an acceptable evening.

It's a perfect rental -- better than minimally acceptable but not as relevant as deserving a theater viewing.

Quick Hits:
* Kim Bassinger looks OLD in some of the camera angles.

* The cast is actually relatively 'recognizable'. William H. Macy is the other standout name (with Bassinger)...but the many of the faces you will recognize.

* This film had the chance to surprise. Deep into the story, the explaination of the whole premise of the 'bad guys' was still not evident. The writers/director could have thrown a huge curve ball and ended up making the people that we had been pulling for actually bad. That would have been too much intellect to try to get the high school crowd in the seats.
