I like checking out movies where the director leans into restrictions, because those restrictions usually foster creativity.Gustav Möller’sThe Guiltyuses the restriction of space, keeping its protagonist confined to an emergency services dispatch station, and largely tethered to a phone. Despite a limited setting, Möller makes the most of his drama, keeping the action tense due to a powerful story and a tremendous performance from lead actorJakob Cedergren. However, a late twist threatens to derail the entire picture by reducing supporting characters to mere plot points to serve the arc of the protagonist....
