![]() Where the guilty person or persons are not the first things immediately placed in front of you. Crime – Drama – Thriller MoviesĮverything about this taut crime thriller is like something akin to a movie-length version of the TV series The Sinner. Emily explains she has been kidnapped and is in a white van, and it’s from here that Joe takes it personally and embarks on a mission to save her. When he receives a call from a distraught and upset woman called Emily, his night shift turns erratically sideways. I won’t reveal any of that here, but I have added a short spoiler section in case you missed the finite details of the end of the film. Joe’s been placed on desk duty until his upcoming court case and of course, it’s not until the finale that we are told the details of what he did. The story plays out as Joe goes rogue based on his own interpersonal trauma and an on-the-job incident. But Riley Keough, Peter Sarsgaard, and Ethan Hawke are among some of them. ![]() Voice actors to listen out for are also a treat, given most of the cast calls in unseen. Nic Pizzolatto (True Detective) wrote the screenplay for The Guilty taken from original writing by Gustav Möller and Emil Nygaard Albertsen on “Den Skyldige.” Whether or not this film is a knockoff that was needed or not, what we got was pretty darn good. A Remake of Den SkyldigeĪntoine Fuqua (The Magnificent 7, The Equalizer) captures the themes woven into the original motion picture in stunning connectivity. There are so many cogs in motion between Joe’s backstory and what’s happening in front of him that the stress can almost be seen emanating from his forehead. He’s distracted, has a headache and a wildfire burning large areas is heavily impacting resources. In The Guilty, Joe is mid-shift answering 911 calls. In both cases, filmmakers, thrilling and compelling events, and performances make both movies a success. The way the film is set out reminded me a little of the title The Call starring Halle Berry and I couldn’t help but think about that story and compare it to this. In fact, knowing the narrative ahead of time would diminish the impact of how it journeys along. It’s highly unlikely though that rewatching a story like this in any language would make it better. But the Danish version doesn’t have Gyllenhaal and I haven’t watched it, so Mother of Movies can’t compare the two. ![]() According to user reviews on, The Guilty movie isn’t as good. The film itself is a remake of a Danish version by the same name released in 2018. The Guilty movie is yet another example of his simply being in a film that raises it to another level. Somehow the Hollywood Gods have failed to recognize this fact. From Nightcrawler to Brokeback Mountain to Donnie Darko, this is a man who is skilled at what he does. There is no doubt about the fact that Jake Gyllenhaal can act. ![]()
