Secret In Their Eyes

"In the languid remake 'Secret in Their Eyes,' the awkward missing "The" in its title poses a more intriguing mystery than anything on the screen. (...) Ray's Americanized redux isn't a disaster, exactly; it keeps its head down and does its job." 

"A smartly conceived remake. (...) It can be both as gripping and as lacking in nuance as its predecessor, (...) a solid genre outing with unsettling topical resonance." 

"Clever but workmanlike English-language remake. (...) plays like a serviceable feat of narrative surgery, though it does boast one masterstroke in the reworking of a key role, played here by Julia Roberts" 

"Three very talented actors who seem to be working in three different movies. (...) “Secret” contains a passel of interesting ideas and effective scenes that don't add up to an interesting whole." 

"A clunky and increasingly absurd Americanized adaptation (...) r a tale that drops its romantic and timely anti-terror threads in order to more fully concentrate on the most preposterous surprise ending in recent memory" 

"What DOESN’T get lost in translation is what made 'El Secreto De Sus Ojos' so effective (...) Julia Roberts gives one of her most authentic and least movie-star-like performances (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)" 

"Not such a good idea remaking the 2009 Argentine thriller (...) The Americanized version is miscast, misguided and misbegotten (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"
