The third installment in Larry Cohen's telephone trilogy (following Phone Booth and Cellular), Messages Deleted follows struggling screenwriter Joel Brandt (Matthew Lillard) as he attempts to clear his name after he's implicated in a series of murders - with the various similarities to the deaths in one of his own scripts eventually convincing Joel that he's been targeted for revenge by someone with a serious axe to grind. It's a relatively promise premise that's consistently squandered by Cohen's surprisingly underwhelming screenplay, as the scripter's efforts at transforming the central character into a Hitchcockian everyman fall flat virtually from start to finish - as Joel's consistently suspicious behavior seems dictated by the increasingly difficult-to-swallow storyline (ie after noticing the parallels in his script, Joel doesn't immediately go to the police). Cohen's overuse of self-referential instances of dialogue, though initially kind of intriguing, eventually comes to wear out its welcome, and there does reach a point at which Messages Deleted effectively becomes just a little too slick and calculating for its own good. This is despite an unexpectedly strong turn from star Lillard and the inclusion of a few genuinely suspenseful sequences (ie Joel is forced to watch helplessly as a loved one is murdered), with the all-too-brief glimpses into what could have been only confirming the film's place as a disappointing missed opportunity.
