I’m not sure what’s harder to watch: a movie that starts out well and then flushes itself down the toilet or a film that never had any idea how to be good in the first place. You’d think the truly awful flick would be torturous. But it’s the good movie gone bad that tends to be more disappointing because at least for a while it was on the right path. That’s the case with “The Call,” a tightly coiled thriller that is really suspenseful through the first two acts and then rolls off a cliff during the last half-hour.
