Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Dressed to Kill or The Talented Mr. Ripley, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Tense, gritty.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 1 hr 54 min.
What might put you off
Rated R: expect sex.

A $10-million diamond rip-off, a stolen identity, a new life married to a diplomat. Laure Ash has risked big, won big. But then a tabloid shutterbug snaps her picture in Paris, and suddenly, enemies from Laure's secret past know who and where she is. And they all want their share of the diamond heist. Or her life. Or both.
