I caught the trailer for The Call in front of my Bullet to the Head screening recently and I must say... I don't have high hopes.
Halle Berry plays a veteran 911 operator who takes a call from a teenage girl (Abigail Breslin) who has just been abducted by a killer she recognizes from a past call and from what I can gather, she decides to go get him. There's even a scene in the trailer where Berry and the killer come into contact, which I have to assume is the end of the film... right?
Either way, The Call hits theaters on March 15 and the poster can be seen directly below. If you haven't yet caught the trailer, check it out here.

Not since Robert Benigni has an actor appeared in such terrible movies after winning the top acting prize at the Academy Awards than, Halle Berry. I gave up completely on her career after last year's atrocious, Dark Tide. Also, is this the best way to utilize the talents of Abigail Breslin? A word of advice, Abigail: say no to movies starring Halle Berry.
Thems the facts
They can only chose what they're offered. As a black actress I'd say her choices are pretty slim. That's just the way it goes. Even Denzel Washington hasn't worked with many great directors.
This poster is awful but the trailer for the movie actually looked pretty good in my opinion.
Poster is interesting. Trailer looks good so hopefully it will be just a good time at the movies. Not expecting much, just to be entertained for the duration of the movie.
Poster is great actually. One of the better ones.
The trailer looks good?!?!? You've got to be kidding. A freaking 911 operator sets out to investigate the disappearance of a kidnap victim. It one of the most atrocious, contrived set up for a movie I've seen.
Plus Halle Berry is a crap actress.....won't be seeing that POS.
You can't always trust trailers these days BUT this is probably one of the most exciting ones Ive seen in a long time. It really made me want to watch the film. Hope its good.
