About
If you want a high-energy, popcorn thriller with escalating danger, Cellular delivers nonstop tension and laughs, even if it’s a little implausible; Not for you if you dislike plot holes or need realistic, modern plausibility like Phone Booth or 16 Blocks.
Pros: fast-paced action; engaging suspense; strong cast | Cons: implausible turns; plot gaps; dated tech
