Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a box office flop and a lukewarm 48% audience score, 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 fans of medical drama and book lovers. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run. Fans of Dead Ringers should feel right at home. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 22 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: expect violence.
  • Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

After kissing his wife and baby goodbye for a seemingly normal business trip, Reed checks himself into a hotel room to accomplish something he’s always dreamed of: the perfect murder. As his sinister plans unfold, he soon realizes he might be in over his head with a mysteriously unhinged call girl named Jackie.
