One Missed Call: DVD, Blu-ray Review (2008)
4/19/2008 Posted by Admin
“One Missed Call” DVD, Blu-rayOne seriously wrong number.
This bum remake of Takashi Miike’s 2004 Japanese thriller “Chakushin Ari” finds Ed Burns playing detective to Shannyn Sossamon’s Beth, whose friends have the worst sort of cell phone luck--and we’re not talking just dealing with outrageous roaming fees.
In this movie of so many illogical twists and turns, one doomed character wraps up the convoluted plot with street aplomb: “Girl, it’s like you get a voice mail, you hear your death, and then you die."
What you want to text to her is this: “Girl, you and your friends just need to answer your damn phones so we can finish this bust and get on to a better movie.”
But why bother? In spite of countless warnings not to answer, they always do answer, with the film’s predictable rhythms leading to predictably disastrous results.
Rated PG-13. Grade: D
