Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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
One for anyone drawn to the darker side of the street and anyone in the mood for a love story. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on. Liked The Wild One? This is a good next one.
The mood
Dark and gritty, warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 1 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1936: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A lawyer changes from defending public enemies to bringing them to justice after his brother is killed.
