OK set location thriller
The trailer looked pretty good. It starts well enough but after a while suffers quite a bit in just being set pretty much in one room of the 911 operators. With most of the performances done purely by a voice over the phone. This doesn't really help in the drama stakes.
Similar in many ways to @The Call (2013) as an 911 operator takes the call of someone who has been abducted and tries his best to track them. But it just loses the intensity around half way through although there are some twists as events unravel.

"This is from a Brian De Palma movie. It’s a pretty scary film, and the soundtrack… ok if you want to freak yourself out, turn out all the lights and sit in the middle of the room and listen to this. You won’t last a minute. When I’m first thinking about a movie I’ll start looking for songs that reflect the personality of the movie, I’ll start looking for songs which can reflect the personality of the movie. The record I think most about is the one which plays during the opening credits, because that’s the one which sets the tone of the movie. Like in Reservoir Dogs, when you see the guys all walking out of the diner, and that bass line from ‘Little Green Bag’ kicks in – you just know there’s gonna be trouble."

Sub-par Plot
Uhhh...What?
Plot? Here Plot! Holy crap this movie made no sense at all, I *barely* understood where they were going with it and boy was it an hour too long! The movie was dragged out with a bunch of unnecessary scenes that could have been thrown on the cutting room floor with no problems. The visual effects were gorgeous though, for a movie made in 2009 it really stepped up to the plate. The characters were half-half, some were excellent, others...well they were about as interesting as finger nail clippings. Wouldn't waste your time with this one!

Great fun
I watched this with my two sons who are 11 and 13. It’s great fun, great songs (which the 11 year old attempted to sing along to almost immediately) and a fun storyline. It may well have been more enjoyable if the 13 year old hadn’t been watching it though. He pointed out that it wasn’t very historically accurate, and he didn’t think that they had electric guitars back then. Well, despite these and more similar ‘helpful’ comments, myself and the younger son enjoyed it very much. I’m banishing the older one to his room the next time I watch any films. This is pretty standard behaviour from him ?
