Factual error: In the beginning of the movie, Leah Templeton is killed on Feb 26. Then the newspaper obituary that Jordan had hanging on her locker door says that Leah's service was to be held at 11am on Feb 27. That is not enough time to prepare the body and get her ready for her funeral by 11am the next morning, especially since it's a murder under investigation.

Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin star in this tense thriller as a Emergency Call Center worker and a young teenage girl who has been kidnapped by a murderer who has killed a child earlier while she was seeking help! Jordan, the Call Center Worker, talks Casey, the victim, through ways of thwarting her captor and helping the police locate them, before she leaves the center to try to rescue Casey herself! Implausible, YES! Halle and Abigail manage to elevate the thin and linear plot with their earnest portrayals of a traumatized civil servant determined to prevent another death on her watch and a girl who struggles valiantly when her life is in danger. Worth seeing at least once when you need a straightforward thriller.

Casey Welson: Mom. Mom, you were always the perfect mother. You gave me everything that I ever wanted. And I love you. I love you so much. And I'm really sorry. Please don't ever forget me.
Question: Berry's phone didn't have a signal in the hideout hole. Can't you call 911 even if your phone doesn't have a signal?
Answer: Not if you have absolutely no signal, no, you can't. Mobile phone companies generally have an agreement that any network will carry an emergency call, even if it's not the network that that phone belongs to, so if you were out of range of your own network, another could carry your call, but if you're in a situation where none of the networks can reach you, by definition no calls of any kind can be made.
