A thin thread of electronic data may be the only thing that
can save a women and her family in this thriller. Jessica Martin (Kim
Basinger) is a biology teacher who is kidnapped by Greer (Jason Statham), a
vicious criminal who has threatened to murder her husband and son if he
doesn't get what he wants. Greer destroys the only working telephone in the
cabin where she's held, but Jessica manages to put enough of the pieces
together to send out a call that's picked up by Ryan (Chris Evans), a
college student, on his cellular phone. Jessica manages to convince Ryan of
the gravity of her situation, but she has no idea of where she's being held,
leaving his cell phone as the only link to her whereabouts -- and his
batteries are starting to wear out. Cellular was scripted by Larry Cohen,
the exploitation film auteur who enjoyed a major comeback with his script
for another telephone-based story, Phone Booth. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie
