Sounds sort of lame. A geriatric version of 'phone booth'.
Next.
shareMr Alphonoso, have u read the plot for Phonebooth? They are nothing alike.
shareThey are similair though, Adrien's trapped in a car and the surrounding woods, and Farrell is trapped in the phone booth.
The biggest difference is that Phone Booth was the better film.
I said I never had much use for one....never said I didn't know how to use it.
there is absolutely no similarity between these films.
in one a man is held at gunpoint in a phone booth for a few hours in the middle of freaking New York, surrounded by a crowd, police and media, constantly talking to everyone.
in another a man is trapped for days in a car after an accident, but he does crawl out half-way through the film. there is no crowd, almost no talking, pain, wilderness and despair.
if you base your assumption on the word "trapped", than i guess you can say that Saw is a geriatric version of Home Alone. if anything this is a variation of Buried and 127 Hours.
also, 'geriatric'? Colin Farrell is only 3 years younger than Adreien Brody.
====================================
This is your life. It is ending one minute at a time.
at least Wrecked is based on reality...this could happen to you. Phonebooth was laughable fantasy.
shareMore like "127 Hours" where a guy has trapped his hand down in a ravine, and has to survive.
shareDo you mean "generic"? Didn't see too many old people in this.
shareWhile there are very few similarities between these two films--I was actually thinking the same thing--even after I watched it--LOL! Perhaps the most obvious similarity was most of the films was shot in the same location.
As far as similarities go--in my opinion this film shared more similarities with films such as Buried, Sanctum, 127 Hours, The Descent, That Baby Jessica, and The Cave.
I agree with Mr. Alphonso! These 2 movies are so similar. Just like how I don't need to see "Cowboys and Aliens" because I already saw "127 Hours." Hollywood, could you please be more original? I'm tired of seeing the same crap! Like the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man. Why make another Spider-Man movie when Tom Cruise already did Valkyrie? It doesn't make sense to "special" people like me and Mr. Alphonso. Just venting.. Next!
