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
Right up the alley of fans of prison dramas and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. The walls close in, and so does the tension. A good follow-up to A Man Escaped or Le Trou.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 45 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1959: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Three criminals escape from a French prison and hide in a coastal village where they have to wait for 12 hours until the boat that is supposed to take them to freedom arrives.
