With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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
- Great for people who like their stories with a little danger and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on. Sits nicely alongside Glengarry Glen Ross.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 5 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1946: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
A deranged artist who may have murdered his wife is investigated by the Whistler.
