nick s Kept up the tension throughout the runtime. Quite nicely filmed. Competent acting from the cast. Could have done without the cheesy voiceover reporting, which really added nothing. The story was relatively simple but at least it ddn't end the way I expected. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Jeff M Unassuming and mostly satisfying noir. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/22/23 Full Review Audience Member "Dial 1119" is brilliant and way ahead of its time! Should be seen by everyone who loves noir. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member good B movie thriller directed by LB meyer's nephew gerald mayer Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an effective noir. It has many beautiful edits and dissolves with counter the strange passivity at the heart of the main character. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
