In the high-stakes edge-of-your-seat thriller The Call a thin thread of survival separates a teenage kidnap victim from her only hope: a compassionate steady voice on the other end of a cell phone marshalling all the resources she can to find her. Veteran 911 Emergency Call Centre operator Jordan (Halle Berry) has the kind of job that's not for the faint of heart: navigating the public's distress in order to save lives. But when a young woman's frantic report of a prowler ends tragically Jordan is devastated. Reassessing her life Jordan wonders if perhaps she's experienced her last fraught-filled phone call. With a supportive cop (Morris Chestnut) for a boyfriend maybe it's time to step back enjoy life and teach others the ins and outs of her high-pressure profession. That lifeline to strangers isn't over yet though. When average American teenager Casey (Abigail Breslin) is abducted by a serial killer (Michael Eklund) she manages to place a 911 call from the trunk of the killer's car. Jordan leading a group of new recruits through the massive Call Center operation is in earshot of the call. It's an all-too familiar scenario for this experienced public servant but before long Casey's situation reveals itself as eerily shockingly familiar. There's only one thing Jordan can do: take charge in a way she's never done before. She must turn Casey into a partner in helping them track down the killer and prove that this call is Jordan's calling.

A little guilt goes a long way... Having not slept for a year lathe operator Trevor Reznick (Christian Bale) is dying of insomnia. Why he can't sleep he can't remember. His every waking minute has become an unrelenting nightmare of confusion paranoia guilt anxiety and terror; each of which is part of an escalating series of clues that will lead him to the source of his mysterious affliction... Method actor Christian Bale who favours total immersion in the roles he plays lost an astonishing 63 pounds from his already lean frame in order to convey the shockingly gaunt physique of the main character. Exhausting in his preparation close to the point of permanent physical damage Bale is the centrepoint of this extraordinary film.
Everything good about the first season of The Shield is intensified in the second. For detective Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis) and his amoral strike team, these 13 episodes follow "the money train," a stockpile of Armenian mob money ripe for the taking. Mackey's team plots to steal this criminal fortune while under pressure from Capt. Aceveda (Benito Martinez), whose political campaign is threatened by a civilian auditor (Lucinda Jenney) assigned to uncover corruption in "the Barn." The uneasy alliance between Aceveda and Mackey provokes the suspicion of Wyms (CCH Pounder), whose by-the-book vigilance is rewarded while Dutch (Jay Karnes) endures a slump that worsens the Barn's sullied reputation. After being horribly disfigured by Mackey, a vile Mexican druglord (Daniel Pino) plots a territorial coup, prompting the strike team's finest police work while Mackey struggles to save his failing marriage. Post-9/11 tensions erupt when beat cop Danny (Catherine Dent) justifiably shoots an armed Arab civilian, and newlywed Julien (Michael Jace) copes with (literal) gay-bashing following his church-sponsored sexual reorientation. As always, The Shield supports these plotlines with gritty casework, including a brutal kidnapping, homicide, and gangland warfare. Every episode (shot in grainy 16mm) meets the series' high standard of excellence, but "Greenlit," "Homewrecker" (featuring the death of a recurring character), and "Dominoes Falling" are standouts, while the controversial "Co-Pilot" offers a retrospective look at the Barn's volatile origins. Writing and direction are consistently superb, and Pounder deserves honorable mention among the brilliant cast, striking a stoical balance of world-weary wisdom, procedural diligence, and righteous indignation. Bonus features comprise a virtual film school for anyone seeking a career in television. While the commentaries explore the nuts and bolts of series development, the "Directors' Roundtable" (with creator Shawn Ryan, Scott Brazil, Peter Horton, and Paris Barclay) is a revealing, frequently hilarious study of the rigors of fast-paced production; "Sound Surgery" presents a track-by-track analysis of sound, music, and dialogue; and "Wrap Day" is a celebratory tribute to the series' hard-working cast and crew. It's all good, and guaranteed to stoke anyone's appetite for Season Three. --Jeff Shannon
