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
- If you count yourself among fans of prison dramas and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach, this one's for you. The walls close in, and so does the tension. A good follow-up to Cape Fear.
- The mood
- Tense.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1964: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A private detective tries to find out how and why some convicts have mysteriously disappeared from the prison of Dartmoor.
