Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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
- A natural pick for people who can't resist a good whodunit and people who like their stories with a little danger. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along. Liked Laura or Murder on the Orient Express? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 58 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A homicide detective tries to flush out a mob enforcer by befriending the suspect's beautiful girlfriend, but soon develops romantic feelings for her.
