Jordan Turner (Halle Berry) is an experienced 911 operator but when she makes an error in judgment and a call ends badly, Jordan is rattled and unsure if she can continue, but then teenager Casey Welson (Abigail Breslin) is abducted and calls 911. Jordan is the one called upon to use all of her experience, insights and quick thinking to try to help Casey escape and also to make sure the man is brought to justice.
Halle Berry plays a 911 operator guiding a kidnapped teenager through a call she should not be able to make. Brad Anderson, the most underrated genre director of his generation, gives it the same procedural rigor he gave The Machinist. The third act stumbles; the dispatcher work is exquisite.
