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: Aimed squarely at western fans and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Liked Bad Day at Black Rock or True Grit? This is a good next one.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 16 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: Made in 1944: an older pace and style.
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A man who has been framed on a murder charge is placed in the custody of a crooked U.S. marshal, who is secretly running a murderous claim-jumping gang.
