Description: A demoted
police officer (Jake Gyllenhaal) assigned to a call dispatch desk is conflicted

Review: Joe is a police officer who got demoted and is now working at a call
dispatch desk. He receives emergency phone calls and has to make sure the right
help is send. One night, he receives a phone call from a kidnapped woman and
Joe gets stuck with trying to help her.
“The Guilty” is a movie set
in ‘real-time’. We never jump forward or back in time, it’s just time as it is.
With that, the film also takes place in only one location, with mainly one
character: Joe. And Jake Gyllenhaal is the one with this difficult task.
The story is captivating
enough to interest you for the entire runtime. And since it’s only
one-and-a-half hour, it’s easier to keep the attention from the audience and to
keep the film exciting. And Gyllenhaal, whom I always enjoy watching, I really
strong in his role.
The story itself is nothing
new and some developments are somewhat predictable. But “The Guilty” is still a
very tense thriller and worth your time.
Rating: 3,5/ 5
