Okay-- Eagle Eye and Enemy of the State had more depth and gravitas.
But this movie was Fun for a Friday Nighter. The Phone itself was cool even if the Plot Characters could not be taken all to seriously. I mean, you get a Phone that starts sending you anonymous messages and this guy just JUMPS on the plane!?!? I thought Midwesterners were supposed to be Salt-of-the-earth Goodie Two shoes. And all it takes is one sleek, sexy phone and he turns into total Cheating globetrotting BadBoy. I found that to be Funny!
A BIG HULKING guard at the casino growls "No Mobiles in Casino" so the guy comes back in with a SCREAMINGLY bright blue earplug in ONE ear? Well DUH!
Then there's the Beautiful Strange Sexy Woman who's suddenly in your bed and your pants. . .but the guy sees her snap a commando's neck and has some seriously deflating second thoughts. Heh heh!
As for the Phone and Computer thing-- I have an even deeper comparison: Think "Forbin Project" updated by 40 years. The Colossus was only controlling and overbearing. Echelon was Sneaky, Vicious and Manipulative. Between the two-- I like Echelon better.
Popcorn Movie!
