Guilty! - A crisp take

Bharath Vijayakumar

Streaming [Netflix] | Genre [Suspense | drama]

Guilty predominantly works and just like Pink, it is able to drive home the message 'No means No' successfully. But the characters are mostly one note and the conclusion is very convenient with a crucial witness having a change of heart in the climax not being very convincing. The acting too is mostly superficial and we do not really get an emotional connect with any character. But what works is the suspense factor and a crisp running time. The technique to keep things under wraps makes sense because of the nature of the film but this also robs the film from having us really root for anyone strongly for most of its running time. But all said, this one is definitely recommended for what it wants to say and to give its due, it says it decently well as well!
