Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)WOW! Spellbinding. A contemporary mystery and British drama that will NOT allow you to stop between the four episodes. The plot is murder based on revenge revolving around MOBILE phone use. The story bounces around in time as fast as cell phone calls, but never gets you lost, except for "who dun it?", or "who is doing what next?" The cast of characters involved in the whole story are so intertwined and separate events so interwoven that it is hard to find distinction between the victims and the villains. Who is the bad guy, anyhow?
There is included the shootings, bombings, a child seduction, blackmail, murders, suicide, bad cops-good cops, hit and run death, conspiracy, revenge, war, corrupt business, betrayal, snipers, theft, sabotage, and Beelzebub all connected with text-messaging. What's not to like?
It is the masterful criss-crossing of the plot(s), written by British TV writer, John Fay, that makes this what surely will become a Classic mystery of the century. It may leave you looking over your shoulder the next time your cell phone rings. There's no end to the action and intrigue.
Acorn Media gets a huge prize for adding the subtitle option. Jamie Draven (playing ex-soldier, officer Stoan) & Michael Kitchen, ( Telecom exec, David West) should also be given high performance awards. 206 minutes that guarantee you can't figure it out till the story decides to reveal the ending.
And the greatest mystery: the credits include as "Assistant Script Editor" the name of Catherine Cookson, a prolific British author of great fame. She died June 11, 1998, several years prior to the creation of "MOBILE" (2007).

Conspiracy, betrayal, and revenge in the global telecom industry Someone is blowing up mobile-phone towers across England. Messages scrawled in blood-red paint at the scenes proclaim that mobile phones are the instruments of the devil. What’s more, a gunman -- or gunmen -- is shooting cell phone users in mid-conversation. Baffled police investigators scramble to avert public panic.In four interlocking parts, this tense drama peels back the layers of a terrorist conspiracy, gradually revealing the evil at its core. We follow three characters -- a disgraced telecom executive (Michael Kitchen, Foyle’s War), a bitter ex-soldier (Jamie Draven, Billy Elliot), and a disgruntled engineer (Neil Fitzmaurice, Going Off Big Time) -- all united by circumstance or collusion. In a style reminiscent of Crash, the narrative moves backward and forward in time, unraveling the three men’s complex motives and their connections to a ruthless self-made millionaire (Keith Allen, Robin Hood). The result is an ultra-modern thriller packed with surprising twists and astonishing emotional depth.
