    Bob’s life isn’t going well at all. A single father in a dead-end job as a debt collector, he’s trapped in a job that goes against his usual easy-going helpful nature and he’s under tremendous pressure to be a better dad, a better brother, a better worker, even a better person. While dealing with all this and his sister’s threat to move to Australia with his son to force him to clean up his act, Bob receives a call out of the blue. It’s a stranger called Grace who claims a mysterious kidnapper is keeping her against her will and begs him to save her and her young daughter. Is it just a prank? The detective he tried reporting the call to seem to think so but Bob’s instincts tell him that he may just be the only thing standing between them and a painful death. But does he have the mettle to rise above his own self-centered concerns and risk everything – including his own son – for two people he has never met and who may not even exist? -moviexclusive.com...:

    It's a pretty good movie, though I had low expectations for this movie, it turned out to be a good one.

    I just watched this last night and couldn't believe I didn't watch it earlier! It's Fantastic!

    If Ip Man for Movie of the year, this would definitely be a damn close second.

    I saw this movie a couple months ago and loved it! It was both funny and suspenseful. I haven't seen Louis Koo in a movie in a while. I'm glad he is still as funny as ever. I watched the original after and realized this version is definitely better. I guess Louis Koo gave it an edge.

    I hadn't seen Cellular before watching this and had low expectations since it wasn't like a big blockbuster or anything. It had been sitting in my pile of movies to watch for like 3 weeks before I forced myself to watch it.
    I was really surprised at how well it was done. It wasn't like one of those quickie jobs that so many recent movies felt like. - The kind that add in rambling plotlines or action sequences just because they can or because it makes the film longer.

    The story was good, the acting was great. Louis was really good in this. I wish he would do more serious roles like this and Throwdown instead of the lighter stuff he usually does. I can't imagine the hollywood version being better than this one.
    It's defintely worth checking out even if you aren't a big fan of Louis. I think he can be annoying at times in some of his lighter movies, but this one really made me like him.

    I loved this movie. The actors are veterans and most of them having good acting. Especially Loius Koo and Nick Cheung. The storyline was also awsome.
