this is the best movie i've ever seen. i'm going to throw my phone away. technology is so evil. john cusack is daddy

Started off so well the first 5 minutes were so gripping, but then it went a bit dull and lifeless from then on. Still worth a watch though, makes you think twice about using your mobile phone!

You know, you could just watch 1408 instead.

This movie might have been successful had it been made several years ago, around the time the book was published (which I enjoyed). It doesn't do anything new or original with the premise or plot that hasn't already been done (and done better by others). It's hard to stand out in a zombie-filled world of media and this one doesn't.

At the end of the movie, "Cell" left me thinking,. "Well, what was the point of that?" The concept with the Raggedy Man and all that was barely developed, there was little to no character development, we didn't care whether any of these people lived or died and according to people who have read the book, there was a lot more to the book that just got left out. So the director was content to just make a poor-to-mediocre film instead of a good-to-great one? I don't get it. Also, there was nothing particularly riveting about the characters or the dialogue that required the expertise of John Cusack and Sam Jackson. As someone here pointed out, any B-list actor could have played these parts. I know these days, you can attach a name like Stephen King to a project, poop out any old shit and it'll draw some money, but Jesus, where is the pride in making quality films?
