Box Office: Despite starring John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson, Cell went straight to VOD in most major territories, and has pulled in barely $700,000 from its international theatrical release (most of it coming from Italy).

Verdict: This is a techno-thriller that might've felt current and hip about 15 years ago, but in 2016? Not so much, hence why it largely forewent cinemas and is destined to be quickly forgotten.

The terrible visual effects and dull direction suck so much energy out of things that the performers are powerless to do much to elevate it. The result is a bizarre effort where it's hard to understand how name actors were convinced to sign on, other than for a fat payday, of course.
