The Guilty (2021)

This American remake of the one-man, one-night, confined-space Danish thriller about an emergency service telephone operator trying to save a kidnapped woman, suffers the same problems as the original film with the decisions and actions of the main character so poor that a more appropriate title would have been 'The Incompetent', but I think this American remake takes the unpleasant little crime drama and better establishes the reason for Jake Gyllenhall's character's poor choices, including his heightened state of anxiety over some kind of formal hearing that is taking place at the end of his shift.

★★☆☆☆
