Beyond a Reasonable Doubt Ratings & Reviews
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...an entertainingly absurd thriller that boasts several genuinely exciting interludes and an expectedly riveting performance from Michael Douglas.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
A good rule to follow for wannabe gritty thrillers: Lead actors shouldn't remind you of late-night informercial pitchmen.
NPR
Ella Taylor
There's little in this pointless rehash to distract audiences from the pleasure of watching Tamblyn, a fine young actress whose direct, grownup stare belies her baby features.
TV Guide
Jason Thurston
There's fun to be had in a rickety Coney Island rollercoaster manner, and it's not terrible late at night on the couch with a bag of warm popcorn, though it is just too silly and slight for all its bluster.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Preposterous, asinine, poorly edited and downright silly with more unintentional humor than your average courtroom thriller.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
What you won't be able to figure out is why this laughable yarn didn't go straight to DVD.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The leads can't lend either spunk or gravitas to what was already a preposterous yarn 50 years ago.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
There are plenty of reasonable doubts about his mediocre legal thriller remake.
Boxoffice Magazine
Amy Nicholson
I've got no problem with movies that stack up twists like crazy straws. Hyam's script, however, depends on us being dumber than every character in the film-you'd have to reach protozoan levels just to resist wanting to strangle everyone in it.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Despite excellent stunt work and a too-brief appearance by Orlando Jones as an unflappable cop, the movie -- unlike Mr. Douglas's hairdo -- never rises above mediocrity.
MTV
Kurt Loder
An undercooked crime flick whose real mystery is why it was made.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
What I can't figure out is how director Peter Hyams can remake a 1956 movie from the great Fritz Lang and not learn anything about suspense, pacing and storytelling in the process.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Like its title, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt is a generic, forgettable courtroom thriller.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt feels like some throwaway 1980s TV movie, with its implausible premise, dizzying twists, cheesy montages and melodramatic score.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Douglas makes smarm a chewy pleasure, but this is a noir in search of a hero we can root for because we actually buy what he's doing.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
For his remake of Fritz Lang's last American film, Peter Hyams retains the German Expressionist's narrative conceit but otherwise ratchets up the sleek car-commercial flashiness.
Hollywood & Fine
Marshall Fine
Can a great surprise at the end make up for all of the earlier flaws? Only if you've got ADD.
ComingSoon.net
Edward Douglas
Dumb, boring and predictable, rarely ever exceeding its TV movie esthetic and leading to the most ridiculous last-minute twist.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
Lang's film, the last he made in the U.S., exposed the immorality of the death penalty; Hyams's retread offers only more plot and longer, louder car chases.
Variety
Jonathan Holland
Noisy and excessive where the original was hushed and restrained, and wholly devoid of mystique...
