Friday night we watched Cellular starring Kim Basinger and relative newcomer Chris Evans. It was a lot like the TV show 24 (without Jack Bauer of course). What I mean by that is the story was only so-so (not very well written) but it was very edge of your seat exciting...

Basically Basinger is kidnapped by Jason Statham (from The Italian Job, The Transporter, and Snatch) to find where her husband "hid it". Basinger says that she doesn't have any idea what he's talking about, and the stupid Statham leaves her with a phone (even though he smashed it with a sledge hammer she somehow makes it work). She finally gets it to work and gets Evans on his cell phone (ah, there's where the title comes it...) and asks for his help.

You can guess the rest, Evans goes on a spree trying to help her (which is pretty high energy) and finally hooks up with one of my favorite actors, William H. Macy, to help him save the day. There is one pretty decent plot twist (I won't spoil it for you) that actually made me give it an extra point in my rating. If you're in the mood for a good energy movie (without a ton of violence) then you should like this.
