The Guilty

A demoted police officer assigned to a call dispatch desk is conflicted when he receives an emergency phone call from a kidnapped woman.

This American remake of the acclaimed Danish film lands as a competent, tense single-location thriller with a strong lead performance, but critics were divided over whether it justifies its own existence given how closely it shadows the original. The mixed scores reflect a film that works on its own terms for some and feels redundant for others.
