And... Phone Booth

Dunno how I forgot that one. Pretty neat. Only 80 minutes long, so you can actually watch it in a couple of ad breaks between TV shows.

Colin Farrell is a philandering husband (of the awesome Radha Mitchell), trying to set up a date with the equally awesome, but borderline jailbait Katie Holmes. He's calling from a phone booth so his wife won't check the call logs on his mobile.

The phone rings after he's been rebuffed by Ms Holmes & has hung up & he foolishly answers it... it's the voice of Keifer Sutherland calling from the 24 set telling him if he leaves the phone booth, calls for help, or pretty much communicates his dilemma in anyway or form, he'll be shot.

There follows an extended seige scene where the police aren't sure who is the perpetrator & who is the victim, but are itching to kill someone for the murder of a bystander.

Worth a look.
