Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle

The Call might not be a classic for the ages, but for a Friday night? For a movie to take people out of themselves? And to make them marvel at the viewing experience that just happened to them? This one is hard to beat. show more

Claudia Puig USA Today

The action starts with a bang, but deteriorates and grows more absurd as the story strays farther from the LAPD call center. show more

Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer

The film is at once shamelessly transparent, manipulative, and far-fetched, and impossibly suspenseful. You'll want to take a shower afterward - that's how icky you'll feel. show more
