a serial killer  and carl stargher  and has been kidnapping and murdering young women by letting them drown in a water filled cell . he is apprehended by the fbi  and but is in a coma and his latest kidnap victim awaits in a cell timed to fill with water take a look at the above premise and you will see that there a very much seen it all before look to it . the magic of mark protosevich script is that he changes a hoary old chestnut plot in to something quite different from what youre expecting . if i mentioned the plot involves a machine that allows a psychiatrist to enter the mind of stargher then sets up a different film entirely this wouldn while t be enough to make the cell a different class of thriller but director tarsem singh creates a visually striking surreal thriller . the cinematography by paul laufer where opaque primary colours are to the fore is stunning but singh doesn not let it end there  and things like costume design where stargher wanders around his idiosyncratic universe wearing opulent costumes does have a visual impact making this so much more than a run of a mill thriller what stops the cell becoming a classic movie however is that you start becoming more and more aware that the whole movie revolves around the visuals rather than having a natural narrative . we see a third character  and a fbi man enter stargher domain but this seems more like a contrived plot turn just to introduce the audience to more stunning but very disturbing momentsit should also be pointed out that this is a rather disturbing thriller with a atmosphere that is very depressing and that stops the film from being if not enjoyable  and then involving . one scene where a fbi agent recounts a case where a paedophile beats a rap only to later cut out the heart of his victim will fill your heart with so much despair you might reach for the off button . you will probably have to watch a massive amount of thrillers till you see another one as disconcerting as this one.
