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: Aimed squarely at anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and crime fans. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Sits nicely alongside The Big Heat.
The mood: Gritty.
The pace: Well paced, at 1 hr 32 min.
What might put you off: Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Featuring a maniacal performance by Mike Passion and a nerve-shredding soundtrack by legendary Detroit punk-rock bands Shock Therapy, Itchy Wiggle Christ and Lab Animals, Mike Pacitto's American Punks follows the pathetic misadventures of a low-life thug and GenX loser with a death wish. It's an outrageous blend of Slacker, Gregg Araki's The Doom Generation and the brutal cinema of Alan Clarke - telling the story of those whose existence is without meaning and who see no point in living other than killing and dying.
