Review of The Guilty

The Guilty (2021)
6/10
It's Gyllenhaal's film for better or worse
9 October 2021
He's one of the better actors in Hollywood and pretty much always delivers. He has plenty of time to shine here and does for the most part with a captivating performance, even if it can veer into being a bit much at times.

I enjoyed the uniqueness of being set in one location, however even at 90 minutes long it can drag. It feels like they had a start and end point, but didn't know what to fill the middle with. I also enjoyed the fact they didn't spell out the character's backstory, but gave you enough to catch on.

It becomes pretty obvious where the story is heading and I don't feel like it ends up being as satisfying as it desires. The Guilty is still probably worth a watch though based on the solid tension throughout.
