Revenge is a main theme in Mobile. What are you willing to risk to get back at the person who wronged you? How far will you go? How far is too far? And when all is said and done, is what you did worth the price you paid?
The DVD
Mobile is set up like a mini-series for television. There are four episodes, two on each of the discs. There are no bonus features, which was a bit disappointing, as I would’ve liked to see how they filmed it and how they kept everything together and coherent with all the branched out storylines that come together in the end.
The DVDs are both packed in their own regular sized snap cases, which are housed in a cardboard box, with some nice box art that really reflects what happens in the movie.
Each episode is about 50 minutes long, making the approximate running time around 200 minutes.
Ending Thoughts
My wife had a hard time understanding the thick English accents, but having lived in England, I was more adept at knowing what they were saying. The accents here are very thick, and a lot of slang is used. This is proper British television, so it’s a lot harder to understand than British shows made for an American audience. But that shouldn’t keep you from seeing it.
This is one of the best thrillers I’ve seen in a long time. This is what Vantage Point wishes it could have been. The reason why Mobile uses the different viewpoint technique better than Vantage Point did is because it leaves more stuff to the imagination. In Vantage Point you saw almost the same thing over and over, which became exhausting. Mobile shows different view points of different people, doing different things up until their paths cross. It shows how each of them got to where they are right now, why they made the choices that they did, and what effects those decisions had on them.
