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.
