During another dull day connecting long distance intergalactic calls from a remote satellite, Michael receives a distress call. No one ever receives a distress call. They barely touch on distress calls during the induction day.
The movie goes way over the top near the end, but unlike Hollywood films, which would've added violence and a car chase, The Operator's excesses all are in keeping with its theme.

This debut film from local writer-director Jon Dichter has an interesting concept, but its execution feels a bit amateurish, especially in the dialogue.

Except for its excesses and too-easy end, Mr. Dichter's original script takes us into Coen country.
