This is almost a scene-by-scene Chinese remake of Cellular, the unexpected 2004 Hollywood hit about an everyman literally called upon to be a hero when a captive woman manages to contact him with a random call; this version is suspenseful fun with a likeable hero but stretches things well past the point of no return when the bad guys start nonsensically refraining from simply killing everyone who knows their secret.
★★★☆☆
