Who was this movie even for? The writing is sloppy, the "message" is hamfisted, the characters are incredibly 2 dimensional. For a movie that's copying something like Phone Booth and maybe Die Hard, it sure misses a lot of what made those movies good. The protagonist is just awful and annoying - you know things are bad in your movie when the villain is more sympathetic than your "hero". Big swing and big miss. So much wasted potential. There was a good movie desperately trying to get out the entire time. Thank god it wrapped up in 90 minutes. Ironically, 15-20 minutes of set up and pay off for the characters would've made this a little more tolerable.
