    I enjoyed both films, neither was a masterpiece, but I took both of them
    on their own terms, I liked the simplicity of the premises.
    Decent entertainment.

    The modern thriller needs a quick shot to the head already. The genre seems to be a means of keeping a paycheck in the pocket of performers keeping active in the competitive race.

    Maybe my statement was abit crass, maybe?

    I've only seen Phone Booth and didn't like it.

    I also thought that Phone Booth was pretty decent for what it was. Even though Kiefer's reason for wanting Stu dead was pretty ridiculous I loved how he got away with it in the end. Never saw Cellular, though.

    I enjoyed 'em both, but I liked Cellular a lot more. I thought it was really clever.

    I rather liked both of these films. Should they win awards? No (though I thought Will Macy was awesome in 'Cellular', he was both funny and heroic, not many actors can do that IMO). But both are the sort of enjoyable, mindless (yes, lots of plotholes or just sloppy writing) action movies that you would want to watch when there's nothing else interesting on TV.

    Which one did I enjoy most? Probably 'Cellular', mostly thanks to Will Macy ("It's a day spa, you ****!" [face_laugh]). 'Phonebooth' was rather amusing, but the ending seems as if they want to make a sequel or something. Meh.

    Neither one are as great as 'Die Hard', but still enjoyable compared to, say, 'Bad Boys' or 'National Security' or any movie featuring Dolph Lundgren *shudders*

    I love the fact that they both have the same writer. Plus both films uses the phone idea in completely oposite ways.

    Never saw Cellular, but Phone Booth had Jack Bauer in it, 'nuff said.

    Phone Booth is one of my favorite movies. You can't say it sucks just because of one highly insignificant "plot hole"(really just more of a oversight)
