'The Guilty' : A Review
The Guilty appears to be stressful from the very second it rolls in. With California going up in flames due to wildfire season, the 911 operating room is busy with emergency calls all over. After answering numerous distress calls, Baylor receives a troubling call from a woman who has been kidnapped. After managing to get as many details as possible, Baylor tries to help the woman by contacting different units as her abductor is constantly on the run.
The plot twist is bound to leave viewers in absolute shock, only to further learn about the actual reason behind Joe Baylor's demotion. The movie, which was filmed mid-pandemic, delivers stunning cinematography with intense tones, simple yet direct dialogs and a brilliant performance by Jake Gyllenhaal. What makes it even more interesting is that the entire filming was done in two rooms, with Gyllenhaal appearing the most on screen, supported by other actors over phone calls.
The storyline of The Guilty unravels smoothly even with just one setting, one face and all the disturbing twists and turns it has to offer.
In addition to Jake Gyllenhaal, viewers will also get to see and hear Hollywood's finest - Christina Vidal, Ethan Hawke, Adrian Martinez, Riley Keough, Peter Sarsgaard, Eli Goore and many others.
With brilliant direction, the perfect script, stunning performances and amazing visuals, The Guilty is definitely a must-watch this weekend. Stream it on Netflix and join the hype!
