    It all adds up to one solid nail-biter, with a profusion of clever clues that seems to cast suspicion on everyone.

    [The wife is] not to be ignored. The same holds true for these two splendid hours of entertainment.

    TNT is right to bring back the format--well done whodunits.

    If the vagueness may irritate fans of the first book/film, it works well for the second, making this story a bit more open-ended and universal.

    Writer-director Mike Robe does a nice job of exploring the repercussions of life choices.

    Not all the films on "Mystery Movie Night" are equally good, but Innocent is one of the better choices.

    The final twists and reveals are inelegantly dramatized, but as TV, it's still a pretty fair page-turner.

    This absurd sequel to 1990's presumed Innocent is about as gripping as a week of jury duty.

    Beyond the problems of time and memory, there's the way that Innocent feels trashy, overwrought and disposable.
