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 anyone who likes watching an argument won and politics junkies. The best scenes are battles fought with words. Shelve it next to Dick Tracy or Bullitt. Power and ambition drive every scene.
The mood: Gritty.
The pace: Moves at a clip, at 1 hr 7 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: Made in 1933: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A young lawyer is elected mayor of the city and promises to rid it of the corruption it's famous for. The problem is that most of the corruption he's vowed to eliminate is caused by the crooked political machine that helped elect him.
