The Call

The scenes after the credits roll completely ruined the ending of what would have been a really great movie!

Watch it! You will love the genius and original storyline. But wait until the ending breaks the whole film. I mean, come on ...! The ending is an important element in the storyline of the entire film where the film is finally finished, before the screen turns off. It is not permissible for an ending to be forced in such a way as to fool and override logic. The audience is not as stupid as they think. Oh yeah, also the concept of timeline is so linear.

... because without it you can't make Call 2, 3 and 4 - and if you've accepted the events leading up to the close out you pretty much have to accept anything can happen, at any time, with little or no rhyme or reason, evidence or justification. If you can take it for what it is and don't try to examine its flaws too deeply, can wallow in its shallows recognising that certain genres, having been milked close to extinction, can still give rise to originality - you'll be thoroughly entertained, albeit feeling a little short changed when the credits begin to roll at the end.

Definitely an interesting storyline to it and indeed overall a good movie. The highlights here are the lead characters. If it wasn't for the lack of logical or illogical explanation to things... at whatever level, this would be a much higher rating. But still if the intention is to let your imagination create realities of its own, then we'll done. Good one.

You have to buy into the absurd concept of a phone call traveling through time... and there are literally dozens of logical leaps your sane mind will have to make... but if you accept the premise, this Korean thriller generates serious chills. Park Shin-hye is fantastic and pulls together all the loose ends with a superb central performance.
