Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but middling reviews (46% on Rotten Tomatoes) and soft box office held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Nicole Walker always dreamed of being swept away by someone special — someone strong, sexy and sensitive who would care for her more than anything else in the world. David is all that and more: a modern-day knight who charms and seduces her, body and soul. But her perfect boyfriend is not all he seems to be. His sweet facade masks a savage, dark side that will soon transform Nicole's dream into a nightmare.
