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
- Best for anyone who loves watching a plan come together and history and war-film fans. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. A good follow-up to My Cousin Vinny. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 24 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.
Upon his return from Vietnam, an ex-soldier finds his neighborhood has deteriorated badly, and is being terrorized by a vicious street gang. He calls some of his GI buddies, and together they hatch a plan to get rid of the gang.
