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: Great for people who like their stories with a little danger and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Leaves you with something to think about. Fans of The Asphalt Jungle should feel right at home.
The mood: Dark and gritty.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 9 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: Made in 1952: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Kicked out of Oxford, a junk dealer's son joins a gang of thieves fenced by his father.
