You won't be disappointed!

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This is not worth the electricity it takes to play it in a DVD player. I've seen thousands of movies and this with out a doubt ranks down there way at the bottom. Please save your time and just take a nap or something; I've seen home movies better than this. Now, the actors were okay; the story line was horrible. It was so slow. The scenery was ordinary, the traffic was as good as I've seen. How can you mess up cars and buildings in the background? When this was made, time would have been much better spent cleaning out drawers or moping the kitchen. It's just about as interesting as watching grass grow. Do yourself a great big favor and think of something else to entertain yourself.

I have watched the film life of Frank Langella beginning with 'The Twelve Chairs' back in the 70s'. His Charismatic ability and dynamic screen force is impressive. This movie calumniates with all the cinematic experience he has accrued over his career. The film is entitled " The Caller." If you are expecting a lot of action, thrills or explosive drama, this is not one of them. Instead, what one sees is the story of an aged Executive who has seen enough corporate destruction to fill his conscience and like most humanitarians, wants to atone for his part. Langella plays Jimmy Stevens an ex-CEO of a multi-Billion dollar corporation which continues to destroy 3rd world countries without remorse. Planting the seeds of failure within the corporation, Stevens knows he will be marked for death. Realizing he has become a target, Jimmy hires private investigator Frank Turlotte (Elliott Gould) to be a witness during his last days. The movie becomes a death watch for a man who has learned in his youth, that death, even when slow in arriving, is death none-the-less and there is nothing to do but wait and reminisce. Touching in its inception, the film is a remarkable heartfelt legacy of humanity realizing its own destruction. This film will no doubt become a milestone for Langella which will culminate in becoming a Classic. ****

A great film for film students to watch as it's been said one can learn the most from the most bungled projects. The endless use of trite symbolism, pointless bits of plot, total lack of character development make this a mess based on someone's unedited, overloaded psyche.What might suck you in as it did me, is that Langella and Gould are fine actors and always interesting to look at. As you get further into the movie you may find yourself watching to see if the write's/directors can top themselves with corny, sentimental symbols and pseudo-deep meaning gobbledegook.Wow, one of the thugs is watching a movie on TV about blood and horror. How many times have we seen that f trope? Wow, one of the main characters likes children....what a heckuva guy! Wow, someone feels guilty for helping a corporation kill innocents in pursuit of profit (when does that ever happen in real life?). Elliot Gould and Frank Langella have cut their credibility in half with me (though everyone should see him as Nixon) for taking whatever money they took to star in this thoroughly inept, amateurish tangle.

I wish I had it so I could have shot myself and saved myself from watching this pretentious piece of refuse. This movie is dull, uneventful, and slower than a snail. The first 45 minutes seemed like they took 3 hours to watch. It goes nowhere, is poorly written, and is filled with trivial scenes which simply waste your time and are not germane to the plot.Do yourself a favor and do not waste your money nor time on this wreck of a film. After reading other peoples reviews all I can figure from those who rated this nonsense highly are so high on their own farts they can't see straight.
