Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

Made for crime-drama fans. If you loved The Asphalt Jungle or Casino, start here.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Unhurried and epic, at 5 hr 17 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 5 hr 17 min.
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1916: an older pace and style.

When an unscrupulous banker ruins his family, a young man swears to bring him to justice, so he adopts a new identity, the mysterious Judex, and ominously disguised and sunk into the muddy path of vengeance, punishes the crooks and protects the innocents. (Originally a twelve-part epic serial.)
