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
- If you count yourself among anyone who loves watching a plan come together and politics junkies, this one's for you. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. Shelve it next to Road to Perdition or The Wild One. Power and ambition drive every scene.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty, warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 40 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1937: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.
President McKinley asks Lt. Richard L. Perry to go underground to identify some obviously very well briefed Mid-Western bank robbers based in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
