Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and middling reviews (45% on Rotten Tomatoes), it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for anyone fascinated by the criminal underworld and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. Sits nicely alongside Nobody or John Wick.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, tense.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 33 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
A hacker who is spying on a pretty neighbour messes up his assignment to break into Swiss bank accounts for Russian mobsters.
