A Hong Kong film. A guy is driving to the airport to meet his son, when he receives a phone call from a woman claiming she has been kidnapped and not to hang up. The guy finds himself knotted into a live crime and becoming more and more entwined speeding around Hong Kong trying to save the woman in his tie. Great action and keeps trying to get over the top like a Jackie Chan movie. Crazy action my kind of fun. Forcing this office man to break the law to get stuff done. Hilarious.

The movie often strains credulity even for a formula action film, especially during the early protracted, wacky car chase. And the continuity editor often dropped the ball. Still, the actors are well cast and work hard; the plot is often gripping, and the ending is satisfying. It's a good Sunday afternoon popcorn ride from the sofa.

More suspenseful Better Casting in terms of the victim & the underdog savior Like many Korean films I've noticed a tendency to drag out a bit For a suspenseful action film I normally give a good one an 8 I'd give cellular a 6.

I have seen both the original and remake. It is based on Cellular. Cellular is intense and has lots of suspense. After a few years, it is remade by Chinese action director Benny Chan. His recent work, Invisible Target is quite good. Benny Chan cannot fail with fast-paced action mixed with martial arts. Connected is almost like the original, it is intense and has lots of suspense with some twists. Though, the remake is almost like the original, it is not boring. Its suspense is different from the original. I treat the original and remake differently. Both of them are of the same score.

Te story: A debt collector receives a call from a woman who is kidnapped by an unknown gang. He thinks it is a joke but soon, he realises that it is not a prank. He hands the phone over to a cop. By then, no one answers and the cop asks him to go to a police station nearby. He rushes off and try to save her and her daughter. The question is whether he can break his promise to his son and save the woman he does not know. From there, there are chaos and intense action exploding into your way. It is another of Benny Chan's good work.

Overall: If you are a fan of Benny Chan, this should not be missed. It also should not be missed for action and suspense fans. We can expect there will be more Asian remakes of Hollywood version.

DVD: I would like to get hold of the 2-disc special edition (Hong Kong version). Singapore only gets the 1 disc edition. There are English and Chinese subtitles.

A guy got call from unknown number and women who was kidnapped from other state cops...then that guy tries to rescue her.. Its a great thriller from starting of the movie...and some scenes protogonist express his humour sense too... Defintely its a rewatchable movie..!!!
