Even with Halle Berry at the center of attention, this movie left me with the case of the blahs.  Not exciting, engrossing or all that entertaining. 

(I'll admit I saw it when I was tired, running on fumes, even nodding off for micro-seconds.  But I'm fairly positive this didn't affect my final assessment of the flick.)  While not bad, I don't think it's really worth seeing.

 

I was surprised when I noticed this was produced by the WWE, which left me very confused.  Since when do they make movies?  And, if they are producing films, why wouldn't it be with any of their wrestlers?   Perhaps they should stick with wrestling as this product was very lackluster.  In fact, had I known beforehand that WWE Studios was behind it, I probably wouldn't have ever bought a ticket to see The Call in the first place.
