Private Number

who films a "horror" movie inside a house with a shaky cam documentary style? Yes, that would make sense if you were filming an episode of the office, because it is presumed that there are people following you around and may not have a tripod readily available. What is your excuse here?

And this officer is wearing a Fake Moustache? Why? Why not just grow a moustache, or just not have one in the first place?

And if you are going to barricade the door by nailing it shut, are you intentionally doing it as crookedly and shoddily as possible? BOARD UP YOUR WINDOWS PARALLEL! And you only did one door. If anything you are just blocking yourself in, and limiting your escape.

OH WHAT THE HELL IS THIS! You called Best Buy's Geek Squad to "hack" into the police database? I had no idea that they provided this service!

Private Number: Utter Garbage. And yet I am still watching it.

Okay ... so, I hated the first 1/3 of the movie ... boring ... tedious ... and I fell asleep, which is a first for me.

The acting is adequate ... and the further I got into the movie I found that I had two possible villains, and just when I thought I had the right person ... I switched to my second choice, which was actually my first choice! Bingo!

The two leads are actors (Nicholle Tom & Hal Ozsan) I would like to see more of, and Judd Nelson is usually a good choice as well. Which means I have no real complaints about the acting, or the special effects. However, what I do have a problem with is the ending ... can you say "overkill?" Towards the end, the screen goes black ... and this is where I would have made a change. I would have allowed the screen to remain black for two to three minutes ... then I would have let the credits roll. I believe my ending would have been a far better ending ... ?! For an audience to wait on the edge of their seats, then dropped, that would have been superb! But, with this film, the wait would have to be at least two minutes of cold, black, silence.

I'm not so sure I will watch this movie again, but if I do, I'll skip the first 1/3.

It's honestly almost impossible to follow the story once you realize that the director has chosen to have a sort of "stopwatch" sound ticking in the background of almost every single scene.

I've never been more annoyed in my life. I wanted to watch the thing to see how it ended, but that tick tick tick sound was driving me out of my mind.

I'm not even sure it was intentional--might have been a bad video camera--but since it doesn't show up all the time, I'm pretty sure it was there as some kind of "Ooooo look how cool this is" thing but it failed, miserably.

Wish I'd never wasted my time on this.

Not that this movie was by any means great (or even particularly good) before it, but it was at least borderline watchable but the ending.

My goodness the ending, a really pathetic and desperate way to end a movie and one that makes little sense to what we've just seen previously.

Clearly I can not go into details without spoiling it, so I won't do that but yeah I had to point out the reason this movie went from what probably would have been a 4/10 to a 2/10 in the end.

On the plus-side they manage to create some really neat-looking visuals in some of the scenes, and I guess the acting isn't terrible.

Tom Sizemore and Judd Nelson have the biggest faces on the poster but they only pop up from time to time, if they weren't the most famous people in the movie they'd probably wouldn't even been on it.

Always enjoy films with a stunning leading lady and this one delivers. The guy who portrays the husband plays the part of an idiotic wanker, who takes out his inadequacies on his beautiful wife, who if smarter would have given him right to the balls before dumping him.
