10 Movies Where The Killer Never Gets Caught

Phone Booth is a tight, dastardly little thriller from the late, great Joel Schumacher, about an arrogant New York publicist, Stu Shepard (Colin Farrell), who is taken hostage inside a phone booth by a caller (Kiefer Sutherland) who claims to have a sniper rifle aimed at his position.

The caller proves he isn't lying when he guns down a pimp (John Enos III) harassing Stu, and makes mention of two other individuals he's killed - a German porn king and a corrupt executive.

The sniper's fourth confirmed kill comes near the end of the movie, when he murders a pizza delivery man in his apartment and leaves the man's body there in order to fake his own death.

Just as Stu realises what's happened and is being treated in an ambulance, however, the sniper makes his first and only physical appearance in the film, speaking to a heavily medicated Stu and warning him to stay honest or he'll be back. The End.

There's absolutely no indication that the caller is at any risk whatsoever of being caught, but rather that he'll go on and continue to use his Special Set of Skills to terrorise elite liars.
