Jordan Turner works as an operator at a 911 call center in Los
Angeles. Jordan needs to remain focused, in the
moment and alert on her long nights of high intensity work. She takes a call from a
terrified young girl reporting a man breaking into her home. She’s doing very well with this call
until she loses contact. She calls
the girl back and the ringing of the phone alerts the prowler that the girl is still
in the house. This mistake causes
Jordan to suffer tremendous guilt, total self-doubt and she becomes a teacher of new
operators instead of working the calls. She is taking
trainees on a tour of the calling center when an inexperienced operator
receives a call from another young girl being held hostage in a car trunk.
This film is very good, it keeps you on the edge of your seat and you
keep wondering how the second case is going to turn out? You also keep yelling at the screen and
telling Jordan what she should and should not do. Offers a different perspective for the ending. 3 ½* (I liked this movie.
94 min, Mystery & Suspense directed by Brad Anderson
