The Guilty

Summary: Pullman pulls average movie into entertainment
Review: Actor Bill Pullman (While You Were Sleeping) gets past the average acting of the younger stars in "The Guilty" to make a pretty good suspense/murder mystery. Too much airtime was given to the younger actors which is always a mistake when seasoned talent is also used. Afterall, it's Mr. Pullman's name and talent that makes viewers want to see the movie. It's murder with a twist and a moral: Don't get caught up with Generation X.

Summary: GUILTY PLEASURE
Review: Bill Pullman stars as a cocky, self-assured federal judge-to-be who seems to get away with murder..or does he? Pullman takes his secretary out, and in a fit of drunken stupor, rapes her. She threatens to expose him; he decides to hire someone to kill her. Director Anthony Waller keeps the pace a little slow, but does manage some great camera angles and a few plot twists to save the day. Devon Sawa, Gabrielle Anwar, Joanne Whalley and Angela Featherstone provide good support and the ending is a real doozy!
A nice change of pace mystery.

Summary: Very Good
Review: I think this film is one of the best films Devon Sawa has ever appeared in. I will admit the beginning is pretty boring, but as the film goes on, the better it gets. It's all about a lawyer, Callum Crane (Bill Pullman) who only cares about himself and his career and a young boy, Nathan Corrigan (Devon Sawa) who has just got out of jail and begins looking for his real father who just so happens to be Callum. On a one off date with his secretary, Sophie (Gabrielle Anwar), Callum gets very drunk, and rapes her. She then files a lawsuit against him after he fires her and gets promoted to be a judge. Callum hires Nathan after he saves him from being mugged by two thugs in a carpark to kill her. Nathan gets $5.000, a photo and an address of where Sophie lives, but throws it away, only to be found by his pal, Leo (Jaimz Woolvett) who owes money to someone. When he hears there's another $25.000 in the bag for killing Sophie, he sets out to find her...
Very good film which I recommend if you want to be in suspense!

Summary: Life's Little Coincidences
Review: Sometimes we can be so caught up with what we think is important and never stop to take the time to see that what we see as important is not half as important as what we don't see.

"The Guilty" focuses on Lawyer Callum Crane (Bill Pullmam) who has worked his whole life to one day achieve the status of Federal judge. However, one drunken mistake changed all that. When he crosses the line, his co-worker Sophie demands revenge. Feeling that "if the woman goes away so does the problem", Crane hires estranged teenager Nathan (Devon Sawa) to take care of Sophie. Nathan is brought to the devious lawyer because his newly aquired birth certificate states that Callum Crane is Nathan's father. Along the way, Nathan meets a really pretty girl he would like to get to know better, who just happens to call herself "Sophie".

A plot like this requires the assistance of some very talented actors, and Bill Pullman and Devon Sawa have definitely filled those shoes. You really start to feel for Pullman's character, and his quest for Federal judge leaves the audience chearing this twisted politician along. Devon Sawa gives an outstanding "innocent boy" preformance, and you really start to feel sorry when pure chance always ends up getting him into more and more trouble.

With stunning developements, jaw dropping twists, and an ending that leaves you breathless, The Guilty is an incredible movie that I would recommend to everyone (over the age of 17).

Summary: Everyone loses
Review: The only performance I enjoyed was from Devan Sawa (Final Destination). Anwar's character is first raped, then killed. Pullman's character is unsympathetic. Although I enjoyed the director teasing me with the prospect of Anwar undressing in her apartment. But definitely not a feel-good film.
