About this movie

Stephen King’s best-selling novel is brought to terrifying life in this mind-blowing thriller starring John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. At the Boston airport, Clay (Cusack) witnesses a scene of chaotic mayhem when an electronic signal turns hundreds of cell phone users into rabid killers. Desperate to find his estranged wife and son, Clay teams with a train driver (Jackson) to battle the horde of murderous "phoners" as the city descends into apocalyptic madness.

Zombie land, Matrix, and every other zombie movie ever written, rolled into a poorly written badly acted blender. Don't waste this 98 minutes of your life, you can't get them back. From its Virus ( Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Sutherland) beginning to its Matrix ending, this snore fest with bad dreams middle is a waste of high quality film.

Haven't read the book... but I did watch this movie. I am a fan of the apocalypse type movie genres, but the main character in this movie obviously had no knowledge of those types of movies. The airport might as well been his death scene if he was just going to make stupid choices anyway. And the ending... omg. Not shocking, just a let down. I usually don't care about movie reviews but I definitely should've paid attention to the reviews here.

This movie had no right whatsoever to be rated R . It was boring terrible special effects, bad acting, I read the book 10 years ago, it was awesome, dude this movie won't make a penny in theaters 2 thumbs way down, my 12 year old stayed up late and watched it with me, he was laughing at it, yes it was so bad it was depressing. Don't bother.
