      Jelisije J This movie has a serious premise which should bring a serious tone, but since Donald Sutherland is so over the top with his performance it takes away what could have been a very serious good movie. Wasted Potential. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Emanuel Levy Variety Suspense is not the strongest suit of this predictable psychological thriller, which also fails as a TV style family drama, though Amy Irving, cast against type, is quite good. Rated: D Feb 13, 2007 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times There's hardly a moment in Benefit of the Doubt when we can believe the events on a psychological level, or even on the level of a manipulative thriller. Rated: 1/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews Rated: 1/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Quentin Curtis Independent on Sunday We're heading for another Cape Fear. Except we hit Cape Farce, as the film runs aground on some rocky dialogue. Nov 29, 2017 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Sep 7, 2005 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews What a waste. Rated: 2/4 Aug 1, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
