The Guilty: Short film review

 



A simple plot with a compulsive story telling.

The actor who portrayed Bubble Boy, The Former Price of Persia and recently Spiderman's antagonist Mysterio, Jake Gyllenhall pulls up an impressive performance he portrays a beliguered  Police Officer Joe Baylor, LAPD Police Officer who seems demoted as he sits as 911 dispatcher with an undefined controversy as he was also set to appear for a court appearance the following the day... 

how he would communicate with the the rest of the team suggests that he seem to either have a really issue or in really deep sh**


Baylor who found himself in a surreal situation of what seemed to be an on going abduction after she recieved a call from a woman (Emily Lighton) who was seemed despair and in need of dire help while a  massive Wildfire was happening at the same time, omewhere in Calfornia..

The call was dropped after the captor seemed to get suspicious of who she was talking to... bent on tracking the woman in danger he dugged further info and was able to reach the victim's house and sas able to talk to yhe victim's daughter Abby and his baby brother Oliver .. from therefort the movie just takes my emotion. The abductor's past charges of assaults and Abby's accounts  just seem to lead us to what was happening as imminent danget looms.  While Joe seemed to be has so invested on the call did eveything, even  beyond  his jurisdiction and avaialable help officially and phoned in some peole yo help him..  by this time the movie has established Baylor's perplexing behaviour as the story relates also his curent situation with his estranged wife  which he has been dealing with for sometime , trying to call his daughter just to say goodnight


This part would be the movie's twist and i'll save that for those who haven't watched the movie.. in the end i can say that "Emotions sometimes can incorrectly overwhelm sound reasoning." .. 

Good Movie.. and i just read, that this was just a remake so i better check that out
