The Guilty (2021)

"The movie seems to mistake the taut minimalism of the original for something that needs to be goosed and adrenalised..."

"Engaging, no-frills entertainment that still fails to justify its reason for being."

"The Guilty is never boring, but halfway through you've just had enough of it."

"Loses some of the hard-hitting edges of the original."

"It's all a smoke show, all flash-bang complexity with no soul."

"(Gyllenhaal) builds to an all-caps-plus-exclamation-point performance; that he does so without losing his grip - on us or the character - is some kind of miracle."

"(Gyllenhaal) sells the urgency and high stakes with aplomb."

"The Guilty is a heavy, stressful watch, and if it isn't too far-fetched, it's at least a little bit fetched."

"Gyllenhaal flexes all his considerable acting muscles in this taut, tense thriller. One of the better remakes you'll see."

"The Guilty gets less and less plausible, not least of all in how neatly it ties together various plot elements."
