The sexy,beautiful Patricia Charbonneau rules in this superb psycological thriller.It's a must see!!

Super cast can't save a disappointing erotic thriller. But everyone is in there giving it their best shot. Patricia Charbonneau, now why didn't she ever become a star? She's good at acting and she's beautiful too. Maybe mass audiences were put off by her coldness and the slightly nasal quality of her speaking voice. Wonder what she's doing today. As her best friend, Patti D'Arbanville is also very good in a thankless part. Watching CALL ME you can see why Patti never really hit it big, she's too plain, everything she has Teri Garr had twice as much of and did it ten times better, but still she's pretty good. As the plot unfolds we see Patricia Charbonneau getting an obscene phone call in New York, and she gets so turned on by the man's voice, that she follows his instructions to the letter. Sort of like an old fashioned version of the recent Meg Ryan flop by Jane Campion, IN THE CUT.

The men in CALL ME are great and they include David Straithairn who made all those John Sayles movies, and also Steve Buscemi, so you see they could have borrowed some of this footage for the last season of THE SOPRANOS and shown Buscemi and Straithairn in flashback as young men.
