Movie reviews: THE CALL
(US, 2013) Dir: Brad Anderson. Stars Halle Berry, Abigail Breslin, Morris Chestnut, Michael Eklund, David Otunga. “ .. tense and gripping nail-biter that involves us in the moment-by-moment revelations of a terrifying abduction case,” says Louise. “Hi, I’d like to order an abduction thriller set around the 911 emergency call centre in Los Angeles. Sure, would you like a psycho with that? Ah yes, and while we’re at it can I upsize to the hero being ..er, a heroine .. and black. Done,” says Andrew.

DVDS OUT THIS WEEK
COMPLIANCE - Stars Ann Dowd, Dreama Walker, Pat Healy, Bill Camp. “ .. a creepy and frightening demonstration of the risks society faces when accepting authority without question,” says Andrew.
ZERO DARK THIRTY - Stars Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, James Gandolfini, Stephen Dillane. “The mission to kill bin Laden was wrapped in the Stars and Stripes as balm on wound of 9/11; this film shows the flag waving majestically in the breeze,” says Andrew.
GANGSTER SQUAD – Stars Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Golsing, Emma Stone, Michael Peña. “There are plenty of shoot outs and fisticuffs, and if it paints the goodies and baddies rather simplistically, that’s part of the genre, too,” says Andrew. “Gripping, ballsy, edge of seat cinema,” says Louise.
THIS IS 40 - Stars Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Jason Segel, Megan Fox, Chris O’Dowd. “Length aside, it works beautifully. This is Apatow’s forte: he writes about what he knows and it smells of truth,” says Louise.
THE COLLECTION - Stars Josh Stewart, Emma Fitzpatrick, Christopher McDonald. “..it satisfies on the gore and sadism register (as it were) but it fails in its cinematic approach,” says Andrew.
