The critical consensus

Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman and Chiwetel Ejiofor star in this flawed but watchable remake.

(*) (*) Eddie Harrison, The List, 22/02/2016

Julia Roberts out-acts and upstages Nicole Kidman and Chiwetel Ejiofor in this muddled film, making its central relationships look implausible and extraneous.

(*) (*) (*) Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 25/02/2016

Crudely mechanical remake is an utter travesty.

(*) (*) (*) (*) Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 25/02/2016

Secret In Their Eyes is never likely to become a major awards contender or a classic but as a decent, involving thriller, it exercises the little grey cells and passes muster.

(*) (*) Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 26/02/2016

Chiwetel Ejiofor and Julia Roberts struggle to ignite this American remake of the Oscar-winning Argentinian crime thriller.
