A random wrong number on Ryan`s (Chris Evans) cell phone sends him into a high-stakes race against time to save kidnapped Jessica Martin`s (Kim Basinger) life. With no knowledge of Jessica other than her hushed, fearful voice on the other end of the tenuous cell phone connection, Ryan is quickly thrown into a world of deception and murder in a frantic search to find and save her. The lives of Jessica and her family are in his hands, but what is waiting for him on the other side of the line - and what will it cost him to find out?

Your Opinions and Comments
It`s been a while since I`ve seen Basinger in a decent movie, and I`ve never heard of Evans, but these two really work things out pretty nicely in the movie.
The video transfer is very good. There are no visible compression signs and the colors are nicely saturated.
The DTS and DD 5.1 soundtrack are both very good. The surrounds kick in during the numerous action scenes and the dialog is well centered.
The menus are nicely animated with sound.
The extras include a commentary, 5 deleted scenes (including an alternate ending), 2 documentaries about cell phone and an issue that telling it would be a spoiler, and a behind the scenes featurette.
Bottom line - a nice movie with a more than decent disc to match. Totally enjoyable.
