Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, 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: Aimed squarely at people who'll be looking things up afterwards and anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards. If you loved Broken Arrow, start here.
The mood: Easygoing.
The pace: Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: Made in 1955: an older pace and style.

Rise, fall and execution of John Brown, fanatic abolitionist.
