20 Most Critically Adored Films 2018 (According To Rotten Tomatoes)

Rating: 99%

Some of the darkest and most compelling cinema and TV has come out of Scandinavia in recent years, and this thriller by Gustav Möller - which has already been optioned for an American remake with Jake Gyllenhaal starring - is right up there.

It follows a police officer (Jakob Cedergren) who is demoted to desk work and takes a panicked phone call from a kidnapped woman. What follows is his attempt to uncover the crime and save the victim as his own demons conspire to work against him.

Sample Review:

"Set in an enclosed room with essentially one actor, and made up entirely of phone conversations, the film employs a full toolbox of cinematic techniques to fashion a complex character study." - The Wrap
