The Call: A Movie Review

Friday night Ryan was flipping through the Netflix movies on our TV to see what new flicks were out. After a few previews, he played the trailer for The Call. It caught my eye enough to make me look up from my serious craft session, but since it was nearing midnight we opted not to watch it. So Saturday night after dinner and putting Adelaide to bed, we decided The Call was the perfect ending to our evening.

The film is about a 911 operator Jordan (Halle Berry), who blames herself for the kidnapping & death of a young teen who she called back after their call was disconnected. Now as she steps back on the floor to return to her duties she finds herself in a similar position. A young teenage girl has been kidnapped and the race is on to save her. Jordan scrambles to keep her focus and find Casey (Abigail Breslin) before its too late.

A hanging-on-the-seat-of-your-pants-the-whole time while making-you-close-your-eyes-and-watch-through-your-hand kind of scary, suspenseful, thrilling movie. If you like to have your heart pumping, I suggest checking out The Call.
