Edward Burns hasn't been
doing it for me lately. Except for his recent appearance in HBO's Entourage,
I have not been too impressed with his other (recent) roles. Hopefully my
opinion will change with Burns' upcoming gig in Warner Bros' One
Missed Call.
Movie Preview: One Missed Call
What will it sound like when you die? In One
Missed Call, a chain of people receive terrifying cell phone messages
of their own final fatal moments. Though the messages can be deleted, their
number is up. Beth Raymond (Shannyn Sossamon) is traumatized when she witnesses
the gruesome deaths of two friends just days apart. Even more disturbing,
she knows that both of them had received chilling cell phone messages—actual
recordings of their own horrifying last moments. Impossibly, the calls were
received days before they died, but each death occurred precisely when and
how the messages foretold. The police think Beth is delusional—except
for Detective Jack Andrews (Edward Burns) whose own sister was killed in
a freak accident that bears a strange similarity to the deaths of Beth’s
friends. Together, Jack and Beth work feverishly to unravel the mystery
behind the ominous calls. But even as they get closer to the truth, Beth’s
cell phone begins to ring with an eerie tune, and the readout says One Missed
Call…
Edward Burns stars as Detective Jack Andrews and Shannyn Sossamon stars as Beth Raymond in One Missed Call
One Missed Call opens
to theatres on August 17th, 2007.
