Yet the idea of an unsuspecting dude getting trapped in one of the last phone booths in Manhattan by a sadistic sniper intrigued me and my daughter, so we saw it during her spring break from school. Why Use a Phone Booth if You Have a Cell Phone? The narrator of this movie starts out explaining quite a.

A lot of people have a fantasy about getting even with people who think of nothing but dollar signs, and care little about anyone or anything but themselves. One of those people has taken the fantasy to the level of deadly reality. He has been watching New York talent agent Stu Shepherd (Colin Farrell), and has decided that Stu needs a life lesson.
