Fatal Call

This movie has a tremendous storyline but unfortunately it is poorly produced. I could not become completely immersed as I was constantly reminded of its amateurish feel. Though professionally written this production only fails in the way it is played out. The acting is bad, the timing is off and the general continuity lacks proper direction and good editing skill. With regard to the acting, itself, my main concern would be with the majority of the actors failing to synchronize their eye movements with the actual thoughts they are supposed to be depicting. As far as the location shooting goes, the factory/refinery setting is supposed to be an abandoned plant and no longer in operation yet when we first see this location steam is rising from some of the vents. A poor production, overall, but a great "thriller" story all the same.

I admire anyone who managed to watch this all the way through. I am afraid I had to give up for only the second time, it was just to painful to watch. I am sure I have something better to do with my time, like watching some paint dry.

I agree with the previous reviewer that everything was out of sync. The music, the eye movements, body movements, there were pauses whilst the actors tried to remember their lines.

The producer should be demoted to tea boy, or perhaps he was on work experience, in which case he should cease to continue having any thought of becoming one.

I would struggle to recall a film with such appalling acting, cringe worthy is a term that springs to mind.

Seriously do not waste you time.

I actually made an account just for this movie. I watched the whole thing because i couldn't believe how awful it was. Lets get to it. Pros: I have it a two because it had a good plot.Cons: Was full of 'come on, seriously' from start to finish(about every scene).That pretty much wraps it up. On top of some amateur acting. It was like a low budget movie that looked on the high budget side. A waste. Terrible.Someone should be ashamed of themselves.I was hoping it would get better but it just got worse. A lot of unrealistic things happened here.If you haven't seen it yet and watch it anyway, just remember, I told you so!

I've been a big fan of Jason London ever since Dazed and Confused so when I saw this at Family Video, I had to check it out. This film is fast-paced, and full of twists, turns, and surprises. You'll see several familiar faces and some new ones. It is well written and acted and keeps you guessing. And just when you think you figured it out, another twist throws you for a loop. The story is told in a non-linear fashion beginning with Jason London's character running for his life from someone out to kill him. This mysterious person's face is never seen. These scenes are cut together with a back-story that shows the events which lead up to London's dire situation. I watched it with my wife and we had fun trying to figure out the identity of the person pursuing him as the back-story shows several potential suspects. But it's so much more than that. And kudos to Danielle Harris, of horror film fame, for turning in a brilliant performance in a film that is not her typical genre. You should check it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Should have stopped watching this after the the first 10mins, but hey I plodded on after looking at the score.

The plot itself was OK, it was the hammy acting. I was beginning to think this was a black comedy gone wrong. But you couldn't do more wrong then what they had. I do hope they had a second job too fall back to

A disused factory that had steam, smoke still coming from one of its exhausts/chimney ? Spotted by another reviewer as well!

The old saying, "Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the broth." Well, all the detectives spoil this film.

What I could have kicked myself for was not too watch the trailer beforehand. That would have had me jog on, damn I hate myself sometimes.

I see the score has come down a bit now due to intelligence rather than a pushed up score by film crew and friends - just my view :-)

There you have it a piggy review over a hammy film
