Fatal Call

Don't know why this has such a low rating but I thought it was very good! The writing, directing, acting, camera work, and music were top notch. And I did not have a problem with the nonlinear nature of the film. In fact I like films like that. Most of Christopher Nolan's films are nonlinear. I enjoyed the production design and thought the setup and execution of the story was well-done. There were parts that were like other, similar films but I didn't find it distracting. My only real complaint is that it was a very low-budget film that was trying to be like a slick Hollywood production. This worked sometimes but not always. Other than that, I really enjoyed it!

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.

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

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.
