These people aren’t zombies, as they’re not dead, but they have all the familiar cinematic characteristics of fast-moving zombies. A mysterious pulse suddenly turns every traveler using a cell phone into a raging, violent lunatic. Hell chooses Logan Airport for its coming out party. Cusack wears the weight of his character, Clay’s divorce on his shoulders in every frame his emotional, desperate attempts to reunite with his ex-wife and son drive the narrative once all hell breaks loose. Jackson is particularly effective, going the subdued route when larger-than-life Jackson would have been, in this case, completely understandable. Jackson for their second King feature together (after the superb “1408”), and both turn in good performances. “Cell” reunites John Cusack with Samuel L.

In the panic to get out of Boston and find his way home to his wife and son in Maine, he is joined by Tom McCourt, a man he meets in the meleé immediately following The Pulse and a young girl, Alice, who they rescue from being killed by one of the crazies. Fortunately for Clay, he does not own a cell phone.
His joy at finally hitting it big is shattered by an event called The Pulse which causes all those who were using their cell phones at the time of The Pulse to become zombies attacking and killing anyone in their way.
