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
Best for people who like their stories with a little danger and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on. Sits nicely alongside The Asphalt Jungle or The Letter.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 23 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1946: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Neale and Pedro fly cargo between Chungking and Calcutta. When their buddy Bill is murdered they investigate. Neale meets Bill's fiancée Virginia and becomes suspicious of a deeper plot while also falling for her charms.
