The ending, as far as movie realism goes, borders absurd. What happens in the final couple of minutes before the credits start is especially uncalled-for, but those silly plot twists aren’t quite enough to ruin what came before them.

The Call, about a 911 operator helping police find a trunked kidnap victim, is, for the most part, a thrill. The suspense hardly lets up until about the final third when the call and the realism of the plot suddenly get disconnected.
