Alone, the title of this movie gets to your head, proving that curiosity truly does "Blow." It is agreed by many movie-goers who love indie films that this movie, isn't necessarily all of what it's hyped up to be(Meaning, Indie). It's a Noir (Dark) story of a teenage loner who investigates his ex-girlfriend's cry for help from a local payphone. Chosen through exile, Brenden Frye (Levitt) tracks info by his high school credentials. The students. Finding more and more clues to Emily's call, Brenden eventually finds out that there is more to Emily's life, than just school, the students, and Their relationship. As much as one would think that Brenden might need help on his investigation, all he really needs is for everyone to get off his tail, meaning the cops. Eerie progress is made as the story unravels and people he meets, but the true lesson learned from the story, IMO, is "KNOW WHO YOU TRUST." This Movie is definitely ranked as my OWN top five in cinema, and is respected by a lot of people due to the ranking of the comments and Boards.
This film is unique and special, in a sinister way, especially how all the teens are involved, but Every once in a while, we all truly need a reality check on what is happening in the world. Like us teens.
10/10 Stars
