ThrillerCrime

A slick New York publicist who picks up a ringing receiver in a phone booth is told that if he hangs up, he'll be killed... and the little red light from a laser rifle sight is proof that the caller isn't kidding.

VIBE

This is a relentless, claustrophobic thrill ride that ratchets up the tension with every passing second. It feels like a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, forcing a moral reckoning under extreme duress. The urban setting amplifies the feeling of inescapable public scrutiny and intense psychological pressure.
