Weeknight Watch

Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but middling reviews (32% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm 6.3 out of 10 from audiences held it back. 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?

The pace

What might put you off
Rated R: meant for adults.

Two warring gang families (one African-American, the other Chinese) maneuver for bragging rights to the Oakland, California docks. Han Sing and Trish O'Day uncover a trail of deceit that leaves most of the warring factions dead... or worse!
