WatchWise Score
67/100
★★★½☆
1,055 votes across 1 source
Blended from TMDB 79 (100% weight); shrunk toward a 62 baseline by 1,055 total votes. Not a plain average: sources are weighted by reliability and vote count, and thin evidence is pulled toward the catalogue baseline.
- · Rated by only a few hundred people, so the score is less reliable.
- · Short and done in under an hour and a half.
