The Guilty

"The Guilty" is a tense Danish thriller centered around Asger Holm, a police officer relegated to a desk job as an emergency dispatcher. When he takes a distress call from a woman who says she has been kidnapped, Asger must use all his wits and limited resources to locate her before it's too late. Confined to the dispatch center, the film unfolds largely through phone conversations, creating a gripping, claustrophobic atmosphere.

Trivia:
1. The film was shot almost entirely in one location — the emergency call center — which helped heighten the intense and claustrophobic feeling.
2. Jakob Cedergren, who plays Asger Holm, reportedly solo-recorded all his scenes, emphasizing the character's isolation.
3. The movie originally started as a stage play concept and was adapted into a film emphasizing sound design to convey locations and emotions.
