In the future, if anyone asks what kind of movies they made during the 2020s pandemic - point to The Guilty - which is essentially just Jake Gyllenhaal talking on the phone for a good 90 minutes. Yes, there are some other talented "voices" here - Paul Dano, Ethan Hawke, Riley Keough and Peter Sarsgaard - but it's Gyllenhaal who carries the film. They managed to throw in pretty good twist too and it manages a decent amount of tension throughout. I still won't say it's the most exciting film ever, but it is a solid - and quick - morsel.
