Absolutely loved it - a "small" but great movie, and best proof that you don't need a big budget to keep an audience glued to the screen and at the edge of their seats. It's basically a room, a man and a telephone, and still manages to tell an intense story (and with a twist). Grim, but still has a few fun moments of relief. Fantastic performance by Jakob Cedergren, who also turned out to be a really nice guy (saw it Zurich Film Festival, and there was a Q&A with him). If you have a chance, go see it!

Great stuff, I love films like this. <em>'The Guilty'</em> is a film that takes place at just one location, something that always has the potential to hinder a film's watchability - but when it's done right, there is nothing more engrossing to watch, and this 2018 flick is just that. I did predict where it was going, but as I always say: predictability in itself is never a negative, for me anyway. I can still appreciate what a film attempts to do and can enjoy seeing the filmmakers pull it off. The whole 90 minutes or so of this is absorbing, it's portrayed superbly throughout - terrific dialogue, editing, sound and, of course, acting. Jakob Cedergren makes for a top quality lead. A brilliant performance! Given how the film is told, the rest of the cast don't have much to work with so it's very much the Cedergren show - but, still, the likes of Jessica Dinnage, Katinka Evers-Jahnsen and Johan Olsen add to the film positively with their more audible contributions. I'm fascinated to see how the American remake went of this. I'm a fan of Jake Gyllenhaal's and I think I have seen an image of him next to a red light, which I presume is in fact a shot out of the 2021 retelling. I'm hoping they did something with it similarly to Gyllenhaal's 2011 film <em>'Source Code'</em>, which I adore, but I shall see at some point in the future, hopefully. As for this, I'd highly recommend it!
