The New York Times -
An effectively creepy thriller about a 911 operator and a young miss in peril, The Call is a model of low-budget filmmaking.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
The Call for the most part is a tense, extreme-jeopardy thriller that delivers the intended goods.
|
|
|
Variety -
There’s little to differentiate this high-pitched screamer from a particularly feverish “Law and Order” rerun.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service -
Rare is the thriller that goes as completely and utterly wrong as The Call does at almost precisely the one hour mark. Which is a crying shame, because for an hour, this is a riveting, by the book kidnapping.

The A.V. Club -
All that unsavory business aside, the biggest problem with the third act is how the film discards the novelty of its own premise in order to bring its star into the action. When Berry trades her headset for a rock, it’s the bluntest metaphor imaginable for a film that’s completely lost its mind.
