Cellular

Actors:  Chris Evans, Kim Bassinger, Jason Statham, William H Macy, Noah Emmerich, Jessica Biel
Rating:  7 out of 10, I’m not a big fan of Kim B. so I avoided seeing this when it came out a few years ago.  It turns out I missed a pretty good action/suspense flick.  This movie belongs to a young Chris Evans before he got all Capt America-ed on us.  He’s very good as a young surfer dude called upon to charge around L.A. trying to save a family from a gang of rogue cops.  Surprising, now at least, to see Statham as a down in the wool bad guy (my wife was upset at her hero’s descent to the dark side and the lack of shirtless scenes). William H Macy steals all of his scenes (but of course he did) as the one honest lawman in the movie.   
MVP:  Macy as SGT Mooney the dedicated if harried veteran cop
