Halle Berry plays Jordan Turner, a veteran 911 call operator that works from a call center known as The Hive. When she takes a call from a young girl whose home is being invaded, Jordan makes an error in judgement that eventually cost the teen her life, causing her to take a break from her job to regroup and gather herself. After her brief hiatus she comes back as an instructor but is soon thrown back on a call when a rookie operator can't handle an 911 emergency for a young girl named Casey (Breslin) that gets abducted from a mall parking structure and using a spare cell phone that she had hidden. It doesn't take long for Jordan to realize that the kidnapper is the same person that murdered the young girl from her past traumatic call experience. Now she is prepared to do whatever it takes to prevent this crazed abductor from repeating his murderous ways and saving the life of Casey.
Reel Talk:
Right off, there was another movie screening (a comedy) the same evening, the same time and the deciding factor was Halle Berry (while flashbacks of Swordfish and Monster's Ball invaded my thoughts). What man in his right mind would not go see a movie starring Halle, but I have to admit that the wig she sported in this movie was a total mess. I guess they were trying to tone down her sex appeal. Anyway this movie is an intense, suspense action thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat and your eyes glued to the screen, but will also let you down with some of the unbelievable situations that would not happen like that in real life, especially the ending. Still this is a very exciting movie and true die hard Halle Berry fans will definitely enjoy it. In closing I will recite the words of rapper Kendrick Lamar..."Halle Berry, hallelujah. Holla back, I'll do ya"- Just not with that wig on....LOL
