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.
