"The Guilty" is infuriatingly stupid.
Don't let the presence of the great Bill Pullman trick you into watching this, like it did me.
Bill Pullman comes from the same Do Anything For A Buck But Still Be Excellent Acting School that graduated the great Gene Hackman.
Indeed, Bill Pullman is awesome in a part that would have gone to Michael Douglas in a better movie.
But even he can't redeem this lame-brained thriller about a scoundrel lawyer who hires a hitman to kill the woman he raped, not knowing the hitman was the son he didn't know he had.
Read that last sentence again to yourself, out loud.
This movie is even stupider than that sounds out loud.
Characters say and do things in this movie only because it forwards the plot, logic be damned.
I watched this on my iPhone, and more than once I nearly hurled it at the wall in utter frustration at this movie, before reminding myself the device warrantee had expired, and I couldn't afford a new one.
After the phenobarbital, I was OK again.
I recommend you watch movies that don't lead to prescription drug use.
"The Guilty" is not one of those movies.
