Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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 anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and people who like their stories with a little danger. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along.
- The mood
- Tense, gritty.
- The pace
- Lean, with little time wasted, at 1 hr 50 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Cantonese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
A debt collector receives a call from a woman who is kidnapped by an unknown gang. He thinks it is a joke but soon, he realises that it is not a prank.
