    Phone Booth dials up its millennial tension through suspenseful confined calls. Joel Schumacher is a rather inconsistent director. Unusual, yet capricious.

    "Phone Booth" starts off a bit slow in the first act, but it quickly picks up the pace and becomes more intense as it goes along.

    Whats also impressive is that the whole movie was shot in just 10 days, with two extra days for some additional shots. Its amazing they created such a suspenseful film in such a short time. Overall, I really enjoyed it!
