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
Right up the alley of people who like their stories with a little danger and anyone who loves a strong drama. Expect bad people, worse choices and a few surprises. Liked Angels with Dirty Faces or The Public Enemy? This is a good next one.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 26 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1938: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

The son of a man sentenced to death for a murder he didn't commit vows to become a criminal himself. He starts his own street gang, and their crime spree is financed by a mysterious young man--who turns out to be the son of the District Attorney who sent the boy's father to the electric chair.
