“Control” (** out of four) was a stylish but sterile psychodrama about a secretary (Lauren Metcalfe) for the British Prime Minister who is on her way home one night when she finds that her car has been overtaken and thus hijacked by a villain (voice of Kevin Spacey) who communicates with her through the monitoring system while rampaging her car through the city of London. Well-directed film grows unavoidably monotonous after a while. Metcalfe is strong in the lead and Spacey’s voice is perfect as the cackling villain but film can’t transcend derivations from “Locke” and also “Phone Booth.”
