Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy 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 fans of a good revenge story and anyone who likes watching an argument won. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Shelve it next to Glengarry Glen Ross or Scarlet Street. The best scenes are battles fought with words.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 9 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1932: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
Amidst a backdrop of growing violence and intimidation, independent cab drivers struggling against a consolidated juggernaut rally around hot-tempered Matt Nolan. Nolan is determined to keep competition alive on the streets, even if it means losing the woman he loves.
