With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of anyone fascinated by the criminal underworld and anyone who loves watching the truth get chased down. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. A good follow-up to The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! or A Shot in the Dark. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story.
- The mood
- Light and funny, tense.
- The pace
- Light on its feet, at 1 hr 4 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1945: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
