In the vein of films like Phone Booth, Locke, and The Call, Danish film The Guilty from director Gustav Möller is a one-location thriller set in a 911 call center, relying almost entirely on one on-screen performance. From what I understand the film is quite good, so good that Jake Gyllenhaal sought out and acquired the rights to make and star in an English-language remake of the same title, directed by Antione Fuqua, which would then be acquired by Netflix for $30 million dollars. While I have not seen the original, I have seen the remake, and I'm fairly certain I've seen the far inferior version.
