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: One for anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and spy-story fans. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Nobody is quite who they seem.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 44 min.
What might put you off: Rated R: meant for adults.
It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1975: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

After a chance encounter with a wanted man, a woman is harassed by the police and press until she takes violent action.
