Director: Felipe Mucci
Somewhere between an interrogation and a trap, Detained strips a woman of her memory and drops her into a room that refuses to make sense.
What is Detained about?
She comes to on a metal chair inside a police interrogation room, unable to account for the previous night, and the officers around her offer explanations that keep shifting. Every detail of the station feels slightly off — the questions arrive out of order, the routines don't match what a real precinct would do, and small inconsistencies pile up faster than she can process them. The 2024 thriller keeps its scale tight, confining most of the tension to a handful of rooms and letting uncertainty about who is really in control do the heavy lifting. Rather than racing toward a twist, director Felipe Mucci lets dread accumulate through repetition and mismatched detail, turning a familiar setup into something more unstable than it first appears.
Cast & crew
Abbie Cornish carries the film as the disoriented woman at its center, with Laz Alonso, John Patrick Amedori, Justin H. Min, Josefine Lindegaard, Breeda Wool, Silas Weir Mitchell, and Moon Bloodgood rounding out the station's staff and detainees.
Context & significance
Detained belongs to a run of contained, single-location thrillers built around memory loss and unreliable authority, and it fits K-Time's thriller catalog as a fast, tightly-plotted watch rather than a sprawling investigation story. Its short runtime and narrow setting make it an easy pick for viewers who want a complete, self-contained mystery in one sitting rather than committing to a longer series.

Detained is available on K-Time with both Farsi dubbing and Farsi subtitles, so Persian-speaking viewers can choose whichever fits their preference.
