Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With middling reviews (44% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm 6.3 out of 10 from audiences, 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
Made for crime-drama fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Bad Lieutenant or New Jack City, start here.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 12 min.
What might put you off
Rated R: expect violence.

Enforcing the law within the notoriously rough Brownsville section of the city and especially within the Van Dyke housing projects is the NYPD's sixty-fifth precinct. Three police officers struggle with the sometimes fine line between right and wrong.
