Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little 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: Tailor-made for anyone drawn to the darker side of the street and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. Keeps you leaning forward. A good follow-up to Point Blank.
The mood: Tense, gritty.
The pace: Moves at a clip, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off: Made in 1954: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you want something to relax to.

An amoral, psychotic playboy incites three men who are down on their luck to commit a mail van robbery, which goes badly wrong.
