I've read the critics review and had to check that I was thinking of the same film!

Yes there is a comedic element to this film but I didn't find that it compromised the movie as it always stayed the right side of slapstick.

The hero and heroine steadily build a rapport with one another and the film really starts to grip you. The lighter moments like in the 'phone shop and the car-jacking provide a lighter element but never hi-jack the film.

Evans, Basinger and Macy are all excellent and I thought Statham also helped hold the film unlike the critic.

I've seen Cellular now four times and every time there's something you remember as the film unfolds.

I will watch it again and I'll enjoy it again!

About the reviewer: Stinger

I am an old-timer and a traditionalist but I can be persuaded to up-date my ideas if it is worth it. I like horror/thriller/action movies but hate the films that rely solely on stuff like CGI as they usually detract from the value of the film. I long to see the tough guy actors make a comeback as I just cannot see Leonardo DiCaprio as a toughie, he is like a teenager with a stuck on moustache.
