Gray is an instructor along with his childhood friend, Trevor (Adam Brody), who has a complicated history with Joey. Leighton Meester and Taran Killam star as Joey and Gray, two estranged siblings who embark on a white-water rafting trip. River Wild, one of the best thrillers on Netflix right now, is the 2023 reimagining of that film but it flips the formula. The River Wild is a 1994 film starring Meryl Streep about a white-water rafting trip gone haywire after the arrival of two armed killers. Filmed entirely in the call center, The Guilty is an emotional and edge-of-your-seat thriller carried by Gyllenhaal, who once again proves that he’s one of the most committed actors in Hollywood.
Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Joe Baylor, an LAPD cop working the night shift at a 911 call center who receives a disturbing call from Emily Lighton (Riley Keough).Įmily tells Joe that she’s been abducted in a white van, possibly by her ex-husband, Henry Fisher (Peter Sarsgaard). The Guilty utilized dialogue and voice acting to its advantage in a clever 90-minute thriller. The pandemic forced filmmakers to get creative with how they tell stories because of the restrictions implemented on sets, including COVID testing and mask mandates. This Is the End goes off the rails in all the best ways, providing multiple laugh-out-loud moments in one of the last truly funny studio comedies. Written and directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, This Is The End poses this question: What would happen if a group of comedians were locked in a house during the biblical apocalypse? The comedians playing fictionalized versions of themselves include Rogen, Jay Baruchel, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, and Craig Robinson. It’s been about a decade since we’ve seen a year with multiple studio comedies that churned a profit, and one of those films was This Is the End. It’s rare for major studios to release comedies in 2023 - and even rarer for them to gross over $100 million.
It’s been said ad nauseam, but the studio comedy is a thing of the past.
