Things turn out completely because of a fatal phone call for a man. The story begins with a man working in the media in New York who once picked up a call from a ringing receiver in a phone booth where his content is that he will be killed if he does not stop. It seems that things will turn into an unexpected end by sniper rifle outside and that it is not a joke.
A first-tier thriller, Phone Booth will make you think twice before you ever enter a public phone facility again, but while it curls your hair, it makes you think.
A superficially gritty yet soullessly slick melodrama.
