Long Distance (2005)

Too much of everything

How sad is this?

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

When Nicole (Monica Keena, best known for being in early seasons of HBO's "Entourage") dials a wrong number inadvertently and leaves a message. A killer calls her back using Caller I.D and sets in motion a series of events that seem to be culminating in the psycho going after her. Something even the detectives whom she convinced to help her may be powerless to stop.Monica seems to be doing the best with what she's been given, but the plot is just too clichéd for me to actually care for the movie that much. It didn't help that the character of Nicole was so insanely stupid that I couldn't care less if she lived or died. Add to this the fact that the movie,while only an hour and a half, seemed to drag on & a twist ending that adds insult to injury. All in all moderately well-acted but tedious movie with an awful ending.My Grade: D+

I recently saw the movie "Long Distance" and I agree with the other person (Mr. Boston), the plot was set up in excellence. I normally read between the lines but this movie took me by total surprise again like "Usual Suspect" or any other movie that is a suspense thriller would have an ending predictable this was brilliantly written. You just can't expect a part 2 because it's just some movies that are self explanatory and this is one of those movies. At the end you really thought who the killer was would be revealed. By the way can someone tell me on the soundtrack who song the song "long distance" it was a woman but I couldn't quite make out the name? [email protected]....

I rented this movie from a local store and wasn't expecting much as in my opinion there are very few modern thrillers that live up to the older classics and Long Distance was no exception to this rule.A potentially very good storyline is ruined by poor acting and a terrible score consisting of about two instruments!! In a movie like this music is vital in creating suspense but unfortunately this film had no suspense. The best part of the film was the ending as it did have quite a good twist. However even at that point I still didn't feel that Nicole's character was acted well enough. I would have enjoyed the film and it's a shame that it had to seem like a low-budget amateur film.

I saw the premier show of Long Distance in NY. I am not an enormous fan of suspense/thriller movies, however I found this one to be spot on. The ending took me entirely by surprise. I would rank the twist in the end to one of my all time favorites "The Usual Suspects". This is a movie you have to see again to determine what you missed the first time around. I will be looking for this movie to come to Boston so I can see it again. The length of the movie seemed about right, I didn't find myself looking at my watch at any point during the show. I found it interesting that the pool was not included in the original script and in the end it fit in so well with the story line. Great picture!
