Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

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
Aimed squarely at crime fans and anyone after some adrenaline. Popcorn viewing in the best sense. If you loved The Mask of Zorro or Batman: Year One, start here.
The mood
Gritty.
The pace
Epic and sweeping, at 3 hr.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 3 hr.
  • Made in 1947: an older pace and style.
  • Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

A man returning home after having fought in the Civil War discovers that corrupt politicians have taken over the county and are terrorizing and shaking down the citizens. He dons the costume of his ancestor, the famous Zorro, and sets out to bring them to justice.
