Our suggestions
When a police officer is demoted to deskwork, he expects a sleepy beat as an emergency dispatcher. That all changes when he answers a panicked phone call from a kidnapped woman who then disconnects abruptly. Confined to the police station, he is forced to use others as his eyes and ears as the severity of the crime slowly becomes more clear. The search to find the missing woman and her assailant will take every bit of his intuition and skill, as a ticking clock and his own personal demons conspire against him.
"This Nordic thriller is able to, like few movies, create suspense and dread through a lack of information, from what we don't see - and by what we slowly start to uncover. The story begins when a policeman on emergency call duty receives a phone call from a kidnapped woman. With few clues about the case, stuck in a closed room and without help from his superiors, a search for her liberation starts. With a great script (with its twists), good soundtrack (which helps to create the atmosphere) and impeccable acting from the protagonist, 'Culpa' is recommended for those who enjoy a good mystery procedural."
