Jessica Martin (Kim Bassinger) is a high school science teacher who lives with her realtor husband and son in the L.A. suburb of Brentwood. After dropping her son off at school, Jessica's home is invaded by a gang of thugs, her housekeeper is shot, and she is kidnapped and taken hostage. The kidnappers want something her husband has and she has no idea what it is. The criminals lock her in the attic and smash the building's only phone as they plan to later kidnap both her son and her husband. Jessica must teach at a private high school because she is able to scrounge together the parts and revive them into a working telephone. She is only able to call blindly and reaches a self-absorbed, young, and immature kid named Ryan (Chris Evans) who is cruising down Venice Beach on an errand for his ex-girl friend in an attempt to win her back. At first Ryan thinks the call is a joke, but he soon becomes convinced and attempts to help Jessica as best he can. Thus begins a lengthy adventure of car chases, attempted killings, more kidnappings, uncaring salespeople, a carjacking, people playing their car stereos too loud, and crooked cops for Ryan all while trying to maintain a constant conversation with Jessica via his cell phone.

The basic concept of CELLULAR seems incredulous at first. However, it works rather well. Cell phones have become ubiquitous in our modern society (except I don't have one yet) and as far fetched as some of the events in movie seem at first, the more one thinks about the situation the more credible the idea becomes. The film's writer, Larry Cohen, also wrote the movie PHONE BOOTH. This movie tackles some of the same issues that were touched upon in that film, but fleshes them out a bit. Should Cohen decide to write another movie about communication devices it could very well be a sensation.

Perhaps another reason that CELLULAR works so well is because of the acting Very Good Cond. Postage $2.80
