Factual error: In one quick shot Stu scans the surrounding buildings looking for the sniper's location. You can see the Grace Building from his point of view. You would not be able to see this building from his location at 53rd. street. The Grace Building is at 42nd & 6th.
Phone Booth (2002)
Plot summary
Directed by: Joel Schumacher
Starring: Colin Farrell, Kiefer Sutherland, Forest Whitaker, Katie Holmes, Radha Mitchell
Genres: Thriller
Stu is an agent for people wanting to get famous in New York city. You see him and think he's all high and mighty, like he is the greatest person on earth, but truth be told, his life isn't so glamourous. He enters a phone booth to call one of his clients - who he is using to cheat on his wife with - and they flirt a bit. Then, as Stu gets out of the phone booth, it rings. Stu of course answers it and is stuck in the game of an insane sniper. A ringing phone has to be answered, doesn't it?

The Caller: Wait till it goes national. ABC, CBS, CNN, UPN, you're gonna have the whole alphabet.
Trivia: This movie took only 12 days to shoot. The scenes inside the phone booth were shot in 10 days and the exterior shots were taken over the other 2 days.
Question: Are the pizza delivery guy and The Caller two different characters? I was always under the impression that they were one and the same.

Answer: The pizza man is intended by the Caller to be a decoy so he can get away. The Caller sends the pizza man to the phone booth so that Stu will identify him later in the apartment, giving the police a convenient answer to the mystery while the real Caller escapes. In fact, at the end of the movie, the Caller comes to visit Stu - obviously he's not the dead pizza delivery man.
