Fatal Call

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!

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 have to admit that I was expecting a tad more from this 2012 thriller titled "Fatal Call". Sure, I hadn't heard about the movie, but the synopsis sounded fair enough, and the movie had an okay cast ensemble. Thus, I sat down to watch this 2012 thriller from writer and director Jack Snyder here in 2023.

Talk about a snoozefest of a movie. The storyline was insanely mundane and generic. And the pacing of the narrative was so bland and uneventful that I drifted off a couple of times throughout the course of the 93 minutes that the movie ran for.

The cast ensemble in "Fatal Call" was adequate, and there were some familiar faces on the cast list, which is why I was expecting a tad more from the movie than what writer and director Jack Snyder managed to deliver. Not even the likes of Jason London, Danielle Harris, Kevin Sorbo and Lochlyn Munro could manage to lift up the dull narrative of the movie.

Don't waste your time money or effort on "Fatal Call", because it simply isn't worth the effort. Some of us suffered through this ordeal so you don't have to.

For a thriller, "Fatal Call" was frightfully devoid of thrills or excitement. My rating of writer and director Jack Snyder's 2012 movie lands on a three out of ten stars.

With its plot line this could have been an acceptable film, but since the director (who wore many hats in this) chose to (a) direct this in a non-linear, highly confusing style, jumping around so much it was hard to know just where we were and (b) chose every tried and true setup that of course everyone sees coming from afar. Add to that the contrived scenes and of course the obligatory abandoned factory where the rent is cheap. Aside from that, the acting was acceptable and the camera work okay; it's simply that there were no surprises; none at all, and the lead character, while likable and charismatic, was played in such a way that it was impossible to believe he could be so stupid. In the end we have to blame the writer/director/editor and also barfly, Jack Snyder. One final word: through the opening titles we're flashed with scenes of an old-fashioned rotary phone being dialed. Since this was a modern-day film with today's cell phones and the closest thing there was to a fatal call was a fatal missed call, I really wonder where the rotary phone came into this at all.

Wow!! most stupid movie i had ever see.Why would that idiot had to keep running from that bad cop?He could just go easily to the other cop right? He had the evidence.He could easily go to the other cops or FbI instead of running to nowhere.He had to pull over to an old building from who knows where so the cops could catch up on him?of all places where there's no one around?..sucks, this movie is so stupid low budget low quality..no wonder.I couldn't wait the movie to finish and i had to endure watching this ridiculous nonsense.the plot is out of this world i suggest to those intending to watch in your pay per view channel to never make a mistake like me.This movie is worth not watching at all you feel like you become dumber after watching this
