Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz, 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
Aimed squarely at people who like their stories with a little danger and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on. Liked The Dark Knight or Furious 7? This is a good next one.
The mood
Scary, gritty.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 12 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1944: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Young female models are being strangled. Will law enforcement be able to stop the crime wave before more women become victims?
