★★★1/2 Mister Guilty arrives to help solve the kidnapping of a seven-year-old son and leaves no puppet with a head. And yes, every parent knows that a situation of this type arouses the worst of violence, and here there are also some other reasons. Still, when it comes to plot and suspense elements, the film is both conventional and effective. What gives it more weight is the work of McAvoy, who really seems at times like a man without resources and, at others (something like that he had already achieved in Fragmented) an unstoppable ball of rage. Let’s also say that the issue of “pedophilia” has become a bit of a commonplace to justify the extreme violence in this kind of thrillers. By the way, totally justified, but the whole thing is still a bit reiterated. Based on a French film called the same, so beyond the landscapes it can happen that he feels that he “already saw it”.
