Started off so well the first 5 minutes were so gripping, but then it went a bit dull and lifeless from then on. Still worth a watch though, makes you think twice about using your mobile phone!

This movie might have been successful had it been made several years ago, around the time the book was published (which I enjoyed). It doesn't do anything new or original with the premise or plot that hasn't already been done (and done better by others). It's hard to stand out in a zombie-filled world of media and this one doesn't.

Liked the book when it came out and I'm sure at the time the film was to be made by Eli Roth, which would surely have been better than what we got? Really poor, I know Kings endings are often a bit crap but what they did with it here is just rubbish. Brilliant cast (although it's been awhile since Cusack was good) but they don't seem to care about anything, most seem to want their grisly deaths so they can cash the check and get out of there.

This is another example of a Stephen King novel that has not translated well into film.
It's the usual 'bogey man' from nowhere who gets inside you head and dreams, sent to create mayhem and destruction against the human race, who are being turned into crazed killers by a mysterious signal from th More

I've never read _Cell_, so I'm not sure if this is an accurate adaptation of a bad Stephen King book, or just another inaccurate adaptation of a Stephen King book. But either way, it's bad.

For a decent Cusack/Jackson team up in a King adaptation, just watch 1408.

Final rating:★½: - Boring/ More

Brain Cell or Brain Drain?

Well I haven't read the book but I like Stephen King, I like John Cusack and I like Samuel Jackson, so Cell seemed like a good choice for a late night cerebral chiller. How far off was I? As it happens, very!

Suddenly cell phones are turning the populace into crazed More

After seeing the rotten tomatoes score I felt the need to come and rate this here. Is it the best movie in the world? No. Is it the worst? Heck no! For a movie straight to DVD and a low budget, it gets by well with 2 well known lead actors. The story itself is an original idea I have not seen before More
