Critics Consensus

Predictable and listlessly paced, Innocence is guilty of wasting its audience's time and money.

Alan Scherstuhl

Village Voice

Innocence, adapted from Jane Mendelsohn's novel, boasts a wicked setup, some strong performances, several gloriously bloody spook-out images, and a movie-wrecking hypoglycemic listlessness.

Los Angeles Times

A movie of such snowballing stupidity that it's a wonder the actors could keep straight faces while shooting it (outtakes, please!).

Philadelphia Inquirer

Takes a machine-gun approach to filmmaking, spraying the audience with as many genres, storylines, themes, and cliches as possible, hoping one will stick.

Rated: 2/4

Innocence feels much more inspired than most films of its ilk, even if it's not wholly successful. At least do the film a favor and ignore the appalling poster art.

Rated: 2.5/5

Assignment X

By the finale, Innocence succumbs to the weight of its lack of originality, but for viewers who are open to more of the same so long as it's decently done, it's acceptable fare with a bit of flair.

So boring that the main character is sleepwalking her way through the clichés.

Yet another terrible film. A worn out, shallow plot yields its secret at snail pace. But we already figured it out ten minutes in. Much of the acting is bad, but the cast is better than usual for this type of fare. A lot of time is wasted trying to add depth to the lead in silly and unrelated time-wasting scenes. The final scene is so bad it is worth rewinding and watching twice. Watch only for schadenfreude and grim amusement.

I didn't even want to give this one star. It dragged horribly and the plot was full of holes. Thankfully we borrowed it from someone instead of wasting the cost of renting it.

The makers have absolutely no control in the tone, which goes all over the place, swapping genres all the time. As well as a poorly constructed and conceived story, this is probably the lowest common denominator for YA fantasy films. It's this movie's fault The green inferno was pulled! Shame!

a surprisingly messy flick,Innocence holds a decent cast,but still suffers from it's formulaic story,bland action,no emotion or depth to it at all,and isn't scary but it made me laugh sixty percent of the time thourgh it.so,hey,at least that's a positive.Ya cruddy crime film thats not an adaptation of a cruddy ya novel,yeah,so just sayin to be sayin something before this review has an end to it that's probably gonna be right about...now.SEE YEAH,PEEPLES.Laters.
