Diagonaldi Very well executed

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

doctorsmoothlove Note: I streamed this from Amazon Prime on a 4K TV. "Fatal Call" is a thriller film with some actors you might remember from their earlier heydays. Why so many appear here is a bit baffling as this film is unworthy of their collective talents.The film goes for a jarring presentation of various segments of its story out of order until the big revelation at its end. With a better script and a bigger budget this might have worked. Instead, what we see is an amateurish low budget effort without many redeeming qualities. It feels like a simple heist that was present out of order for the sake of being different. The story isn't engaging enough to warrant such an approach. Given the few locations where scenes occur, the film preys on your boredom. Until there is an odd cut from one scene to the next. Early in the film the main character meets the female lead and they share all of about five minutes of interaction before falling deeply in love. There is a cut from a chase sequence to them making love in that hokey movie way where the actor covers every part of her body that would result in a higher rating. This portion features an instance of characters not speaking loud enough for the camera to capture their voices. These decisions are less defensible than they would be for a film from The Asylum or another competing company because this film was written, directed, and edited by the same person!There isn't much to see here or enjoy. Don't be tricked into watching it due to the surprisingly respectable cast or the inaccurate film poster.

ladcrooks Should have stopped watching this after the the first 10mins, but hey I plodded on after looking at the score.The plot itself was OK, it was the hammy acting. I was beginning to think this was a black comedy gone wrong. But you couldn't do more wrong then what they had. I do hope they had a second job too fall back to A disused factory that had steam, smoke still coming from one of its exhausts/chimney ? Spotted by another reviewer as well! The old saying, "Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the broth." Well, all the detectives spoil this film. What I could have kicked myself for was not too watch the trailer beforehand. That would have had me jog on, damn I hate myself sometimes.I see the score has come down a bit now due to intelligence rather than a pushed up score by film crew and friends - just my view :-) There you have it a piggy review over a hammy film

Ed Taylor I've been a big fan of Jason London ever since Dazed and Confused so when I saw this at Family Video, I had to check it out. This film is fast-paced, and full of twists, turns, and surprises. You'll see several familiar faces and some new ones. It is well written and acted and keeps you guessing. And just when you think you figured it out, another twist throws you for a loop. The story is told in a non-linear fashion beginning with Jason London's character running for his life from someone out to kill him. This mysterious person's face is never seen. These scenes are cut together with a back-story that shows the events which lead up to London's dire situation. I watched it with my wife and we had fun trying to figure out the identity of the person pursuing him as the back-story shows several potential suspects. But it's so much more than that. And kudos to Danielle Harris, of horror film fame, for turning in a brilliant performance in a film that is not her typical genre. You should check it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

plasticpig72 I admire anyone who managed to watch this all the way through. I am afraid I had to give up for only the second time, it was just to painful to watch. I am sure I have something better to do with my time, like watching some paint dry.I agree with the previous reviewer that everything was out of sync. The music, the eye movements, body movements, there were pauses whilst the actors tried to remember their lines.The producer should be demoted to tea boy, or perhaps he was on work experience, in which case he should cease to continue having any thought of becoming one.I would struggle to recall a film with such appalling acting, cringe worthy is a term that springs to mind.Seriously do not waste you time.
