Movie debuts October 1 on Netflix
Coming to the streaming service a week after it opens in theaters, Netflix's latest big-money acquisition (for which it paid $30 million) comes from director Antoine Fuqua and screenwriter Nic Pizzolatto (True Detective), who adapt the Sundance-winning 2018 Danish drama of the same name (well, the same name but in Danish, which obviously is Den Skyldige as we all learned in grade school). Unfolding over a single day almost entirely in a single location—which meant that filming on The Guilty took just 11 days—their thriller stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a police officer who is demoted to work at a 911 call center. When he gets a call from a kidnapped woman, his morning turns out to be far more eventful than he anticipated. Reviews out of the film's world premiere at TIFF in September were fairly positive, with critics highlighting Gyllenhaal's intense performance (which was admired by most reviewers but called a distraction by a few).
