Why 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
If you count yourself among anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and crime fans, this one's for you. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning.
The mood
Scary, gritty.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 17 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Prosperous professional couple Mike and Christine are settling in for a standard evening of wine, TV and low-level marital hostility when a ring on their doorbell changes everything. Turns out their son Sebastian is in a little trouble with some local boys, who are quite prepared to camp out and wait for him to get home ... the resulting culture-clash chamber drama is raw, revealing and nerve-splittingly tense.
