Note: I streamed this from Amazon Prime on a 4K TV. "Fatal Call" is a thriller film with some actors you might remember from their earlier heydays. Why so many appear here is a bit baffling as this film is unworthy of their collective talents.The film goes for a jarring presentation of various segments of its story out of order until the big revelation at its end. With a better script and a bigger budget this might have worked. Instead, what we see is an amateurish low budget effort without many redeeming qualities. It feels like a simple heist that was present out of order for the sake of being different. The story isn't engaging enough to warrant such an approach. Given the few locations where scenes occur, the film preys on your boredom. Until there is an odd cut from one scene to the next. Early in the film the main character meets the female lead and they share all of about five minutes of interaction before falling deeply in love. There is a cut from a chase sequence to them making love in that hokey movie way where the actor covers every part of her body that would result in a higher rating. This portion features an instance of characters not speaking loud enough for the camera to capture their voices. These decisions are less defensible than they would be for a film from The Asylum or another competing company because this film was written, directed, and edited by the same person!There isn't much to see here or enjoy. Don't be tricked into watching it due to the surprisingly respectable cast or the inaccurate film poster.

Wow!! most stupid movie i had ever see.Why would that idiot had to keep running from that bad cop?He could just go easily to the other cop right? He had the evidence.He could easily go to the other cops or FbI instead of running to nowhere.He had to pull over to an old building from who knows where so the cops could catch up on him?of all places where there's no one around?..sucks, this movie is so stupid low budget low quality..no wonder.I couldn't wait the movie to finish and i had to endure watching this ridiculous nonsense.the plot is out of this world i suggest to those intending to watch in your pay per view channel to never make a mistake like me.This movie is worth not watching at all you feel like you become dumber after watching this

I actually made an account just for this movie. I watched the whole thing because i couldn't believe how awful it was. Lets get to it. Pros: I have it a two because it had a good plot.Cons: Was full of 'come on, seriously' from start to finish(about every scene).That pretty much wraps it up. On top of some amateur acting. It was like a low budget movie that looked on the high budget side. A waste. Terrible.Someone should be ashamed of themselves.I was hoping it would get better but it just got worse. A lot of unrealistic things happened here.If you haven't seen it yet and watch it anyway, just remember, I told you so!

This movie has a tremendous storyline but unfortunately it is poorly produced. I could not become completely immersed as I was constantly reminded of its amateurish feel. Though professionally written this production only fails in the way it is played out. The acting is bad, the timing is off and the general continuity lacks proper direction and good editing skill. With regard to the acting, itself, my main concern would be with the majority of the actors failing to synchronize their eye movements with the actual thoughts they are supposed to be depicting. As far as the location shooting goes, the factory/refinery setting is supposed to be an abandoned plant and no longer in operation yet when we first see this location steam is rising from some of the vents. A poor production, overall, but a great "thriller" story all the same.
