Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz and middling reviews (58% on Rotten Tomatoes), 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 people who can't resist a good whodunit and anyone who likes comedy with a point. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. The jokes have targets, and it hits most of them.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

A one-time (and now one-handed) master film editor toiling in the cinematic sweatshops of 1970s Italy becomes the prime suspect in a series of brutal murders.
