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
Made for anyone who likes watching an argument won and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. The best scenes are battles fought with words. Fans of Carlito's Way or Wall Street should feel right at home.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 4 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1946: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

An attorney enraged over the prosecution of two innocent people goes on a killing spree.
