Antione Fuqua’s remake of The Guilty has some thrilling moments, thanks to Jake Gyllenhaal’s performance; however, it lacks the impact of the original and doesn’t have the purpose of being.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 8, 2024

Jake Gyllenhaal continues to show that he is one of the best actors working in the industry right now, and even with the tonal issues and the blunders at the end, there is plenty of things to enjoy and to keep yourself invested for a short runtime.

| Original Score: B | Mar 1, 2024

Fans of the original will feel like they have been put on hold listening to the same piece of music on a 90 minute loop but for new audiences, this is an edge-of-your-seat thriller than you won’t want to hang up on.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 12, 2022

{Gyllenhaal's} unhinged turn that you can practically see mentally come apart at the seams. It’s one of his best.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 9, 2022

Fuqua does add some interesting touches, such as setting his movie to the backdrop of the California wildfires. But no matter how hard the film tries, it’s never able to muster the same intensity or humanity as its Danish inspiration.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 17, 2022

The Guilty feels like a movie only meant to pander to subscribers who still cannot abide by subtitles.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 8, 2022

The rare Hollywood remake that gets it right.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 2, 2022

Film fans may bristle at the idea of yet another American remake of an acclaimed foreign film, but The Guilty is wonderfully well-made on nearly every level, with a powerhouse lead performance from Jake Gyllenhaal.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 14, 2022

An intense, cruel, unstoppable thriller that uses unpredictability as its engine, The Guilty suggests the answer while our pulse slowly gets back to its normal rhythm. [Full review in Spanish]

It succeeds in creating a suspenseful story with good acting, even though parts of the movie seem too contrived. People who can appreciate this film the most are those who use their imagination, because a lot of the terror is what's not seen on screen.

Thanks to Gyllenhaals compelling performance and tense-filled moments, The Guilty is sure to be another crowd-pleaser for Netflix. This one will indeed have folks talking.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 18, 2022

Viewers who felt emotionally eviscerated by the fast-paced original aren't likely to have the same reaction to the new version.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 12, 2022

The Guilty is not just one of the better English remakes of a foreign language film but also one of the best Netflix films of the year.

| Feb 12, 2022

The Guilty remains to be an effective dramatic thriller... it just begs the question of if this remake was necessary. The 2018 Danish version is exceptional and stands on its own.

| Feb 12, 2022

This single-location suspense films pulpy plot makes up for its inability to conjure dramatic weight with its constant tension.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 12, 2022

The film might get a bit less mileage from its shocking reveals if youve seen the Danish title its based on, but Gyllenhaals tortured performance and Fuquas tight direction make it a compelling character study in its own right.

| Feb 11, 2022

The Guilty is a a tense thriller, but it's also a film about the titular guilt and a mental health issue that needs to be addressed more openly. It contains numerous twists and turns that thoroughly shock the audience and lead to a satisfying conclusion.

| Original Score: A | Feb 11, 2022

A police thriller in which I don't find any significant tension during the hour and a half it takes to call 911 to report the failed remake. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jan 23, 2022

While I found parts of the story to be repetitive, and some twists and turns predictable, the emotion-driven plot and lead character performance alone are enough to justify a watch.

| Jan 6, 2022

The script, adapted by Nic Pizzolatto of True Detective, and Gyllenhaal's no-holds-barred, emotional performance make The Guilty compelling enough to override heavy-handed messaging.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 23, 2021
