Critic Reviews

By occupying their roles believably, by acting as we think their characters probably would, they save the movie from feeling like basic Hollywood action (even when it probably is). This is one of the year's best thrillers.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

This unpretentious little bit of superior craftsmanship will be utterly mesmerizing to two kinds of people in particular: those who love cell phones and those who hate them.Full Review

Stephen Hunter
Washington Post

A thriller that isn't kinky isn't much of a thriller. And Cellular has the best kinky phone gimmick since "Sorry, Wrong Number" (1948). Full Review

David Edelstein
Slate

It's an honest, unpretentious, well-made B picture with a clever, silly premise, a handful of sly, unassuming performances and enough car chases, decent jokes and swervy plot complications to make the price of the ticket seem like a decent bargain.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

The film works by putting the accelerator to the floor and never looking in the rear-view mirror. Full Review
