SEE The full ‘Spencer’ trailer ends with one killer line from Kristen Stewart’s Princess Diana Will you be seeing the film in theaters or on Netflix?

And beyond the addition of Gyllenhaal, the filmmaker “doesn’t try to fix anything that wasn’t broken” in the first telling of this story, though despite the film’s limited scope it’s also being accused of “wild-eyed excess” compared to the Danish version. The director is “reliable” when it comes to crafting “tense and measured films” exploring “complicated” morality. It’s Fuqua’s “best film since ‘ Training Day,'” which won Denzel Washington an Oscar for Best Actor. But the Netflix remake nevertheless features “an absolute beast of a performance” by Gyllenhaal, according to one review. Indeed, the original film scored 83 on MetaCritic and 98% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, giving it a decisive edge where critics are concerned, and you’ll be able to make that comparison for yourself since the Danish version currently streams on Hulu. The RT critics’ consensus says, “‘The Guilty’ is another Americanized remake overshadowed by the original, but its premise is still sturdy enough to support a tense, well-acted thriller.”
Over on Rotten Tomatoes, which classifies reviews simply as positive or negative, the film is currently rated 72% fresh based on 114 reviews: 82 counted as fresh, 32 counted as rotten. As of this writing it has a MetaCritic score of 64 based on 33 reviews counted thus far: 19 positive and 14 somewhat mixed, but none outright negative.
