Unknown Caller (2014)

To me, this movie is perfection.

Redundant and unnecessary.

I wanted to but couldn't!

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Is the acting bad? Check Is the plot beyond asinine? Check The little girl, who's watching her parents scream, as their being trapped with a bomb in the house, she also witnesses a man get shot, all while being kidnapped. Through all the trauma she's is calmer than a monk on Xanex.

A slick thriller where a man just finishes having the latest alarm system installed, when he receives a call from an unknown caller. The caller wants payback and he uses the alarm to do it as well as a huge bomb in the basement. The man's daughter gets dropped off for the night which ups the ante. He has to figure out who the caller is and what he did or else the whole house explodes. People can come in the house but if anyone leaves, the house will explode. Before you know it four people are trapped inside.This was a pretty tense ride. It does get a little draggy in some spots but they somehow do keep things flowing. This is however one of those films where a guy goes to a hell of a lot of trouble to get revenge. The reason behind the whole thing kind of resembles Oldboy.It did keep me hooked all the way through even though the concept has been done a few times.

not much to say,really really stupidand seems like they couldn't even find decent actors. Shocked they got the moneyfor movie with such a bad plotseriously - everything's bad and stupid.I hope they'll never ever get investment againthis is a waste, people should never make movies and actors should never play again, at least a girl, this is so.... badoh my god

I found this film riveting overall and, for the most part, fast moving. The story is direct, plausible, and easy to follow. The acting was very good all around. The score was appropriate while not overwhelming. The cinematography was quite good. The special effects were adequate. Frankly, the limited blood and gore were refreshing - I watch a film to be entertained, not grossed out. I rate a film on it's story line, delivery, production values, and overall quality. This film performs well in each category. Comparing one film to another I'll leave to others. Overall, a worthwhile and entertaining thriller. Recommended! - Erick Erickson
