A surprisingly efficient _huit-clos_ / chamber thriller about a man with a past working the phones at a Danish 911 call centre.

Because the entire film is set in one single room, the success of the project relies entirely on the script, the director and the actor. If any one of those three comes up short, they take the entire movie down with them. Fortunately, this is not the case. Director Gustav Miller is able to maintain the tension to keep the tight script taut (for the most part), and lead actor Jakob Céder immerses us in the film with his portrayal of the hapless officer.

Only a tad reminiscent of the similarly themed Halle Berry vehicle _The Call_, the plot twists keep the viewer guessing long enough to justify the Audience Award _Den Skyldige_ garnered at the last Sundance film festival.
