The Call

The Call (2013) is a crime thriller starring Halle Berry that you can watch online on iFILM. Brad Anderson, who built a career on tight, claustrophobic suspense, directs.

Jordan Turner is a seasoned 911 operator in Los Angeles. One bad instinct on a live call costs a caller her life, and Jordan steps away from the dispatch floor, unsure she can sit through another night like it. The break is short. A kidnapped teenager named Casey (Abigail Breslin) reaches 911 from the trunk of a moving car, on a disposable phone that can't be traced. The line keeps dropping. Jordan's voice is the only thing standing between the girl and the man at the wheel.

Anderson keeps most of the film locked on Berry's face and the panic in her headset, saving the open air for the final act. Ninety-five minutes with no breathing room, where survival comes down to how steady a stranger can keep her voice. Stream The Call (2013) online on iFILM.
