The Call - review

6 months after a mistake on her part caused a girl to be abducted and murdered, 911 operator Jordan decides she can no longer be on the front line of calls and takes up a position training new employees.

Still traumatised from the last call she took, Jordan is happy to no longer be in the thick of it, but when a young girl Kacey calls 911 after being abducted and a newly qualified operator panics, she has no choice but to jump in.

Determined to do everything she can to avoid losing this girl, Jordan uses all her inner strength and experience to re-assure Kacey that she will do everything she can to help her, but with Kacey locked in the trunk of a car with no idea where she’s heading and the police unable to get a trace on her phone, Jordan must remain calm despite being haunted by her past experience.

Starring Halle Berry & Abigail Breslin, The Call was a fantastic tense thriller which kept me gripped from beginning to end.

A great movie which I wouldn’t hesitate to watch again.

Perfect Stranger - review

New York journalist Rowena Price (Halle Berry) is on the brink of publishing an exclusive scoop exposing the love life of the senator when her source is compromised and her big chance is blown.

Extremely annoyed she’s advised to take time off when she bumps into an old friend on the subway who asks for help in exposing the cheating ways of New York’s biggest advertising boss, Hamilton Hill (Bruce Willis).

As Rowena begins to dig deep her friend mysteriously ends up dead, so in order to get closer to Hamilton she enlists the help of technical genius Miles and goes undercover in an attempt to gain enough information to avenge her friend’s death.

But as Rowena gets more involved with leading a double life and secrets are revealed it turns out the killer could be a lot closer to home.

Filled out with twists and turns I was hooked from the start and could never have guessed how it would end.

This exciting thriller is definitely worth watching.
