    One of the best films I've seen in the last 20 years!!! Just watch it!
  • Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
    At times its a little predictable but the movie is still compelling thanks to a terrific central performance. So glad one of these kinds of movies realizes that the second you leave the confined setting, the story is over.

    This movie left me speechless. It is very intense and lots of twists and turns that have you literally on the edge of your seat the whole time. The middle is a little slow but the ending more then makes up for it.

    Lots of restraint shown in the acting, cinematography, sound…no music at all. Well made. Would make a good play. Not exactly a movie you "enjoy" though

    So brilliantly affecting as the lead character comes to see himself in the 911 call to which he doggedly remains connected/re-connected. I already keep an open mind, and keep demanding open-mindedness of myself. The Guilty takes self-scrutiny and critical thought to a new level of moral imperative.

    edge of the seat police drama with great performances...

    It wasn't believable at some points, but it was definitely worth watching for free on Amazon prime.

    A bit far fetched for much of this to pass muster, but I suppose some of it can be overlooked for the story. It was well made and entertained. I enjoyed having Danish culture shown. Saw it on HBO.

    Great stuff, I love films like this. 'The Guilty' 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 'Source Code', which I adore, but I shall see at some point in the future, hopefully. As for this, I'd highly recommend it!

    Really good. Much better than the remake with Jake Gylenhaal if you don`t mind reading the translation in english. This movie is a "look" in to us "humans".
