The Guilty is a race-against-the-clock thriller that will rattle you
2138d ago
The Guilty is smartly constructed and tautened with regular twists, but, if it were merely clever, it wouldn’t test your nerves as it does. Its view of human error is rarely less than abrasive, and most of the adult characters, visible and invisible, are enmeshed in a hell of good intentions.
2138d ago
Unfolding in real time, this immediately involving story bends and turns in surprising, sometimes horrifying ways. Enriched by Oskar Skriver’s marvelous sound editing, which takes us from a speeding van to a bloodcurdling crime scene with equal authenticity, the movie smoothly blends police procedural with character study.

Gustav Möller’s feature directorial debut makes a taut, memorable drama out of police abuse of power
2138d ago
At this year’s Sundance Film Festival, the first film that really started a buzz was from the relatively under-promoted World Dramatic Competition, Gustav Möller’s “The Guilty,” now finally opening in limited release.
2138d ago
Lives are on the line in more ways than one in Danish freshman helmer Gustav Möller's deft, taut emergency-services thriller.
2138d ago
Focusing entirely on one policeman on the phone, trying to save a desperate woman, Gustav Möller’s directorial debut is thrilling and provocative
2138d ago
For a debut, “The Guilty” might have seemed a easier project to execute logistically versus a movie with multiple sets or shooting locations, but it’s a more difficult approach to really nail than the standard one and Möller absolutely pulls it off.
2138d ago
Making good use of close-ups, including twitchy eyes, headsets, computer screens, and tools of an emergency dispatcher–notably a red light that turns on when he takes a call–the film could have very easily been a play, radio drama, or narrative podcast.

A movie made up entirely of phone conversations shouldn't be this gripping
2138d ago
Consigned to emergency dispatch duties while awaiting a disciplinary hearing, Copenhagen cop Asger (Jakob Cedergren) receives a call from a frightened woman named Iben (Jessica Dinnage), who claims to have been abducted by her ex-husband (Johan Olsen). Acting on instinct, Asger takes matters into his own hands with disconcerting consequences.

One-man show The Guilty effectively transfers Rear Window to a police call center
2138d ago
The viewer's imagination is the main perp in Gustav Moller's cleverly constructed police procedural.
2138d ago
Only in its final stretch does The Guilty start to lose some steam, as Möller grapples just a bit too hard to close on a moment of transcendence.
2138d ago
In his feature debut as a director, Möller (ably assisted by cinematographer Jasper Spanning, and subtle work from production designer Gustav Pontoppidan) strikes a perfect balance between the quiet intimacy of the phone calls, and the claustrophobia of Holm's increasing desperation. Without ever feeling stagy or theatrical, The Guilty is an exquisite reminder that all you need is four walls and a great performance.
