PRODUCT REVIEWS

Stella, played by Lauren Metcalfe, serves as the Home Secretary to Prime Minister David Addams, portrayed by Mark Hampton, in London. Although they are engaged in a secret affair, their fellow staff members are aware of it. One evening, during one of David's campaigns, Lauren offers to take his daughter, Evie, played by Eire Farrell, home when David needs to conduct more interviews and mingle with supporters. Stella and Evie embark on the journey in Stella's luxury car, and soon, Evie falls asleep in the back seat. However, something unexpected happens as they drive through the night after a long and busy day. Stella is driving through the city in self-driving mode when suddenly her car starts driving in a completely different direction than what she requested. She feels like she has lost control of the car. Then, her phone rings, and a mysterious man (voiced by Kevin Spacey) speaks to her. He tells her that he has complete control over her car, including the doors, brakes, steering wheel, and more. Stella is understandably frightened and wants to know what is happening and why, but the voice on the phone refuses to reveal any motives other than to say that he knows much about her. Now, Stella must play his game and follow his rules with the promise that The Voice will tell her more if she complies. He promises to let her and Evie walk free if she does what he wants. Can Stella discover who the mysterious voice on the phone is? And can she and Evie survive the night? Control is a thriller movie directed by Gene Fallaize. It shares a similar concept to the 2002 movie Phone Booth, which is also mainly set in one central location. Here, the film is mostly set in Stella’s self-driving vehicle as she tries to outsmart the voice on the phone before any harm or damage occurs to herself or those close to her. Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey delivers an excellent performance as the mysterious caller in the movie. He portrays the voice as a clever character who can become quite angry if Stella is not careful. Lauren Metcalfe, who carries most of the film, also gives an outstanding performance. Throughout the story, Stella experiences various emotions, including fear, worry, upset, and determination to obtain a safe outcome. At several points, she is forced to do highly uncomfortable things, such as calling David’s wife, Sarah (Natasha Kemball), and revealing truths about her relationship with the Prime Minister. If you enjoyed the movie Phone Booth from 2002, which features a character trapped in one location by a mysterious voice on the phone, then you enjoy Control too. The concept of Control is excellent and relatable to date. Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey delivers an outstanding performance as the threatening and menacing voice on the phone, and actress Lauren Metcalfe is also commendable in her performance, confined to the vehicle for most of the film. Although the premise is familiar, it's an enjoyable thriller for the most part, despite a few missed opportunities, such as the film's evident and lacklustre finale. * This review has been written for Sanity.
