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
If you count yourself among people who like their stories with a little danger and anyone who loves a strong drama, this one's for you. Expect bad people, worse choices and a few surprises. Shelve it next to The Asphalt Jungle or The Public Enemy.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 9 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1953: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

'Rocks' Owen, the well-off owner of a car-hire business, is found murdered; the last place he was seen alive was the Blue Parrot nightclub. Scotland Yard go in to investigate, with the help of a visiting American detective and a nightclub hostess who may not be all she appears to be.
