Cell

Fear thy neighbour.


Cell
Although based on a Stephen King novel, and co-written by him, this film is unlikely to join the ranks of The Shawshank Redemption or The Green Mile. At the Boston airport, a man witnesses a scene of chaotic mayhem when an electronic signal turns hundreds of cell phone users into rabid killers. Desperate to find his estranged wife and son, he teams with a train driver to battle the horde of murderous ’’phoners’’ as the city descends into apocalyptic madness.

97 minutes.
No persons under 16 (Violence, Horror).

Tomatometer quote iconShoddily crafted and devoid of suspense, Cell squanders a capable cast and Stephen King&rquot;s once-prescient source material on a bland rehash of zombie cliches.
