The Guilty se déroule le temps d'une matinée dans un centre d'appels d'urgence. L'opérateur Joe Baylor (Jake Gyllenhaal) tente de sauver une interlocutrice en grand danger, mais il est loin de s'imaginer ce qui l'attend. Sa seule issue ? Affronter la vérité. (Netflix)
Critiques (6)
Si vous avez vu l’original danois de The Guilty, ce remake n’a pas grand-chose à vous apporter. Tout au plus pourrez-vous savourer la prestation compacte de Jake Gyllenhaal, bien qu’avec ce type de clone américain sans réelles innovations, ce soit du gâchis.

Si l’on connaît l’original norvégien et donc l’ensemble de l’intrigue, y compris le dénouement, The Guilty ne parvient pas à enthousiasmer. On se contente plutôt d’apprécier la présence de Jake Gyllenhaal et de comparer le concept formel, qui est ici enrichi par les grands écrans d’un centre de communication montrant des incendies en Californie. L’intensité de l’état mental exacerbé du personnage principal est surprenante pour un film Netflix grand public, comme si Antoine Fuqua essayait de compenser le manque de crudité et d’authenticité du film d’origine. Gyllenhaal fait de son mieux en tant qu’acteur et tout le monde sait qu’il est capable, mais le niveau de focalisation sur son personnage est presque superficiellement exagéré. On ne connaît pas suffisamment le personnage et ses qualités humaines pour pouvoir sympathiser avec lui.

A thriller... and a cheap one. Gyllenhall savors the ambiguous character of an emergency line operator who gets a call from an abducted woman. With a computer and head set in the supporting roles. I haven’t seen the original and don’t know how much Pizzolatto changed, but the dialogs and twists are very good with the suffocating Covid atmosphere. Calling over the phone and face to face contact just aren’t the same! One day I might watch the original Danish version.

An intimate and such a well written film that it seemed to me almost like an adaptation of a very good radio play. I didn't see the original, so I was able to be (for an hour and a half) tense and wait to see what came out of it, because from the beginning something suspicious hung in the air in that strange night atmosphere. Jake Gyllenhaal is great and the point was successful - given that and the overall tone, I understand why the Americans needed to make (remake) this film and at this time.

I definitely belong to the group that doesn’t quite understand the point of remaking certain films (especially when it’s often laughable how the creators consider the remake to be an original work). This film falls into that category too, but fortunately, Antoine Fuqua and his team managed to get the absolute maximum out of it. After all, casting Gyllenhaal in the lead role alone is enough to attract crowds. Over the past decade, you’d be hard-pressed to find many actors from the younger generation as talented as he is; he immerses himself in his roles in a way that makes your eyes pop. The Danish original already impressed with its story, so I didn’t expect anything different in that regard. I was just a bit disappointed that the creators didn’t make any smaller, thoughtful changes. On the other hand, I felt better about the two crazy twists; they seemed more authentic. I’ll give it a 7, mainly thanks to Gyllenhaal’s masterful performance. Recommended. For me, it’s 7/10.

If you're not familiar with the Danish original and were lured in by Jake, you'll probably enjoy this. For those familiar with the original film, it's a complete waste of time that, with complete (and totally irrelevant to the plot) exceptions, just dully copies the excellent original. Unfortunately, Jake Gyllenhaal overacts at times and falls far short of his highest acting qualities as in Prisoners or Zodiac. [55%]
