Does just enough to keep you engaged but nothing more.

Gyllenhaal works hard to make Baylor a more conflicted character. Yet in humanizing him the film also reduces an institutional failing into an individual one.

Gyllenhaal's best performance since his phenomenal turn in Nightcrawler. The adaption itself does however fail to make a convincing argument for its existence.

I understand that the story remained faithful to the original film, which is commendable. But the beats of this story are so obvious that it’s frustrating. I kept hoping for something different, but at every possible twist I knew what to expect.
