The Guilty

An impulsive officer with a guilty conscience is frustrated to have to work at the central dispatch. Until he receives a call from a confused mother who is being kidnapped by her ex.

Just like him, the viewer can only rely on the bits of information that steadily trickle in. The camera never leaves the dispatch, the clock is ticking in real-time. Jakob Cedergren’s performance is brilliant. This thriller by debutant Gustav Möller proves that the masterful execution of good ideas is more important than having a big budget.
