You can't say the cast isn't committed in their attempts to put over the many false leads, one phony confession and a resolution so ridiculous it gives contrivance a bad name.... Beyond that, there's nothing to distinguish The Guilty from a middling installment of Law & Order (sure enough, O'Malley worked on the U.K. version of that crime TV stalwart).
That familiarity [of the genre] is a problem, but the bigger problems are the dreary tastefulness of Edward Bazalgette’s direction and the thin, inconsequential nature of the mystery, which limps to a particularly unsatisfying conclusion.
