The Guilty (Den Skyldige) - English subtitled
Engrossing Danish thriller about an emergency dispatcher who’s suddenly caught up in trying to solve a kidnapping from behind his desk.
When police officer Asger Holm is demoted to desk work, he expects a sleepy beat as an emergency dispatcher. That all changes when he answers a panicked phone call from a kidnapped woman who then disconnects abruptly. Asger, confined to the police station, is forced to use others as his eyes and ears as the severity of the crime slowly becomes more clear. The search to find the missing woman and her assailant will take every bit of his intuition and skill, as a ticking clock and his own personal demons conspire against him.
Gustav Möller, Denemark, 2018, 85 min. Danish & English spoken, English subtitles.
With Jakob Cedergren, Jessica Dinnage, Johan Olsen.
