With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone looking to switch off and smile and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Low effort, high reward: just press play. Same wavelength as Blindspotting or Code 3.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 20 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1928: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
The journalist Don Davis becomes involved in a murder case, where Chrystal Malone is part of it. Davis follows Chrystal to China. When Chrystal arrives in China, Davis has to save her from an execution.
