Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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
A natural pick for anyone interested in what war does to people and readers who like to compare the book and the screen version. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. A good follow-up to Lawrence of Arabia or Kelly's Heroes. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Light and funny, intense.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 32 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1951: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Kiplingesque tale of British forces in 19th-century India.
