Bill Pullman stars as Callum Crane, a man who finds himself on the way to a federal bench position. The very week of the appointment Crane is accused of assaulting his assistant (Gabrielle Anwar). Crane's life is ruined much to the dismay of Crane's wife (Joanne Whalley). Crane becomes desperate and hires a young ex-con (Devon Sawa) to solve his problem by killing his assistant. Unbeknownst to Crane, the ex-con harbors another secret that could bring down Crane himself.
`The Guilty' is probably one of the best non-grisly crime thrillers I have seen in a long time. The film has so many twists, turns, shocks and pitfalls that it made me gasp. Pullman is brilliant as the morally distraught Crane. Sawa, Anwar and Whalley compliment him very well with every scene. This could be Bill Pullman's best role to date.
Pullman made another court-room-crime thriller back in 1996 called `Mistrial' which was your typical cable movie fare but his second turn in the genre is pure magic. (112 mins) (4.5 out of 5) So Says the Soothsayer.
