The movie

A man receives a phone call from an unknown woman who has just been kidnapped by a gang. To his great surprise, she asks him for help. He first thinks that it is a bad joke but soon realises that the situation is not only real but also urgent. The poor guy is involved despite himself in a dangerous mission just because he answered his mobile phone... Will he be ready to risk his life in order to save a stranger? Honk Kong remake of Daniel Ellis’ Cellular, Connected takes us through a thrilling chase in the streets of Hong Kong. Benny Chan gives to the audience sumptuous aesthetic compositions of virgin territories with endless urban landscapes in background. A treat for the eyes!
