The Guilty

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2000 Filmcritic.com

Weird and creepy pot boiler has Bill Pullman as a high-profile Manhattan lawyer who gets mixed up in a scheme to off a girl (Anwar) whom he sorta-raped in a drunken haze. Only it turns out the would-be hitman is the long-lost son (Sawa) he never knew he had!

What follows are more twists than a Red Vines candy, and while it's a slow burn, it's certainly a watchable one. Hilariously ironic with a wry sensibility you don't see too much these days.
