Netflix has dropped the teaser for Jake Gyllenhaal’s upcoming film ‘The Guilty’ and interestingly despite being just an audio it will keep you hooked throughout. Helmed by Antoine Fuqua (Southpaw, The Magnificent Seven), ‘The Guilty’ will premiere in select theatres in September and on Netflix on 1st October, 2021.
The teaser is a video of dialogues said appearing on the screen and eventually combining together to form Joe Byler’s (Gyllenhaal) face. Joe, a troubled police detective demoted to 911 operator duty answers a distressed call where the girl on the other end seems to be in danger and is so scared that the only information she could give him was that she has been abducted.
