Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Guilty (2021).
Jake Gyllenhaal, Ethan Hawke, Bill Burr and Paul Dano are the stars of director Antoine Fuqua’s latest, The Guilty.
An action/thriller, the story follows Joe Baylor (Gyllenhaal), a demoted police officer assigned to a call dispatch desk. Baylor finds himself conflicted when he receives an emergency phone call from a kidnapped woman.
I sometimes say things like: ‘I didn’t know I missed (insert name of great actor) until this new trailer.’
Today is different because I’ve actually been needing an intense Gyllenhaal film for a while now. And knowing that Fuqua, the director of the excellent Training Day (2001) and The Equalizer (2014), is behind this film has me a little more excited.
I look forward to learning just how likeable Gyllenhaal’s character is by the end.
Byron Bowers, Riley Keough, Bill Burr, Peter Sarsgaard, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, David Castañeda, David Castañeda, Terence J. Rotolo, Edi Patterson, Adrian Martinez also star.
The Guilty Release Dates: September 21st, 2021 (US); October 1st, 2021 (UK)…
Happy Film Loving,

This looks good and it reminds me of 9-1-1 the TV show with Angela Bassett. The series helped me appreciate first responders even more than I did before. 🙏
I loved the first season of 9-1-1. A good show that, like you, opened my eyes about what first responders go through.
Looks good. It’s something that I will defianatly want to see.
I can’t wait! We have less than two weeks to go. 🥳
Yes! I will be watching also.😀
This does look good, I lost faith a bit in Jake when he did that thing with Anne Hathaway but he seems to have come back and Paul Dano is always brilliant I think!
Jake has been in both Brokeback Mountain and Love & Other Drugs with Anne Hathaway. Though, something tells me you’re referring to the latter. 😁
definitely! Brokeback Mountain is one of my favourite films of all time. . .
I haven’t watched Brokeback Mountain since first viewing, and that’s mainly because it reminds me that one of my favourite actors of all time is no longer here. R.I.P Heath Ledger. It really a very good film, indeed.
I like those 2 and I also love Ethan Hawke. I wasn’t too keen on trailers for the foreign version this is a remake of, but with that star power how can I resist.
I actually had no idea this was based on an existing film.Thanks for the info. Agreed fully about the star power I can’t wait to watch the dynamics between them.
I only knew because the trailer for it was on a few DVDs I’d watched.
