    A breath of fresh air

    Culprit is proof that a great film can come from anywhere, not just the big guns. The film grabbed my attention at the very start and never let go, making me constantly question everything and everyone until the very end. A solid thriller through and through that holds up until the very end. But great writing, great acting, and great cinematography will do that, you know. It's becoming more and more rare to see a film created by someone who just wants to tell a good story well, making this a solid change of pace. If you're wondering if you should watch it, I'd ask you why you haven't already?! Because I'm going back for seconds. And thirds.

    I DO NOT RECOMMEND WATCHING IT! Trashy and pathetic writing!

    To use this sensitive matter to create suspense is just stupidity and trashy all for money! How insensitive to make a movie like this and then no real ending. Its exploitation of trauma that people have really faced. Just disgusting. I wont go on and on, but I think its important we stop watching and supporting trash like this. This is trashy money chasing writing built off of people's trauma done to the most sensitive in society. Smh. This is NOT okay and I hope others realize this and stop consuming such wickedness labeled as "entertainment". I hope there won't be a part two and I firmly stand against it. I pray other will too!

    Three-dimensional chess!

    I am not speaking in hyperbole: It's extremely rare for me to see a first-time writer/director nail it on so many levels, notwithstanding the confines of a low, indie budget. Ronat cultivates a conviction and grit from the characters and performances, keeping me glued to the screen and second-guessing who the culprit is until the very end. CULPRIT is a case study on how to make a great film without studio backing.

    Further, this film is not just a murder mystery; it's a commentary on the fragility of justice and the consequences of societal judgment. This idea could not be more relatable in our current day and age of misinformation and disinformation. Where is the line between truth, falsehood, and circumstantial misrepresentation? Watch and judge for yourself!

    A clever movie but too convoluted

    The movie had the right idea for a thriller that keeps you thinking.

    However, it starts well but gets a bit convulated towards the ending. Although, nice to have but the directors have gone too far and spoilt a movie with much promise.

    The storyline and premise for the movie is great and you want to keep watching. But the twists and turns gets a bit tiring and unreal towards the end. By that time the viewer is looking for something real but it is sadly lost and taken too far.

    Sorry directors, you should do a retake of this movie to get people more interested and engaged to a final finale that is more believable.

    Terrible Acting

    I don't understand how a film director can cast an entire film without a single actor who can actually act. I recognized one actor from previous films but the rest were all unknowns. It is easy to see why they were unrecognizable. Any of the idiots who gave this a 9 or 10 rating must be related to the director or something. Because no halfway intelligent person could think this was a good movie. I just continue to be dumbfounded at the lack of quality in modern films. How can any movie studio make money putting out this kind of garbage? It almost seems like anybody can get a film produced today.
