O Telefone

Watching this remind me of the Frequency movie (American movie year 2000). The aspects are different, but the main plot is the same. A person try to save a family member by telling them what will happen in the future. The past and present were connected by a weird phenomenon (a wave/magnetic field) enable them to communicate. This is a nice thriller, but lack of the originality. It's a good watch if you want an excitement weekend movie. It's just predictable at the end because there's already a lot of movies doing the same plot. The acting is great. Overall, this movie is nice executed. I wouldn't say that it's a much watch, but it's a decent watch.

Not a bad movie. Concept is simple enough. In 2014, a husband returns home after a long night of drinking with colleagues to discover that his wife have been murdered. A year goes by without the investigation making any progress. Due to a miraculous cellphone disruption caused by a solar flare, the wife from 2014 calls the husband in 2015 hours before she is to be killed. To save his wife they will have to work together to keep her alive.

I thought this had a decent plot, acting, action and suspense. It moved a steady pace and held my interest. The story is put together well aside from a couple plot holes that I'm willing to over look. A little more character development would have been beneficial. However, I wouldn't mind suggesting it.

I always love to watch thriller movies, and somehow I search and found this movie. I enjoyed the entire movie. In some places, it was a little confusing but it's okay! All actor tried their best, and they produce good results.

This movie is not like other typical thriller movies, It's a bit more complex. You have to keep close your eyes to understand what going on.

So if you look for suspense and thrill this movie could be a good choice for two hours. A little bit of time travel also gives you science fiction feelings.

And last thing, the movie sound, making, music, and place were fair enough. It's don't make you bore.

It's good. Similar to FREQUENCY, not as good of course. Not so overdramatic as you might expect, there is a "down to earth" approach here that it works, even though its plot it's not realistic at all. Acting is good, it's kinda intense and enjoyable. The only problem here was the running time, it should have been shorter. At some point, it dragged. Some scenes were not needed, it became too complicated without reason. However, it finds its rhythm and the ending is satisfying. Likeable characters, viewer roots for them and the villain was menacing enough, without being a caricature. Overall, i enjoyed it. Lower your expectations and if you like movies like FREQUENCY (2000), you will like it too. Still, not a MUST WATCH movie.

The Phone is a perfectly decent watch. Son Hyun-Joo is the businessman who by going on a drinking session with his work colleagues is unable to stop the brutal murder of his wife. It also happens to be a day when there is extremely unusual solar activity which interferes with mobile phone communication. Fast forward 12 months and Hyun-Joo is beginning to put the pieces of his life back together and return to his job as a lawyer for the first time since his wife's death. Again there is unusual solar activity and on his way to work he apparently receives a phone call from his dead wife; dismissive at first he comes to realise that he is actually speaking to his wife on the day of her death. Hyun-Joo then desperately tries to convince his wife that her life is in danger in the hope of changing the course of events. This also has an impact on events in the present as history is constantly rewritten to take account of every change in the past. It is now not only his wife who is in danger; her killer is also aware that history is in danger of changing. The film moves along at a pace and certainly kept my attention; there are some similarities to the Dennis Quaid / Jim Caviezel film Frequency; not just the explanation for the ability to communicate across time, but also in the way that current events literally change before ones eyes as the past is rewritten. It is a stylish film which i hope gets a chance for some attention outside of Korea. Well worth a watch.
