Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for fans of prison dramas and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. The walls close in, and so does the tension. A good follow-up to Point Blank or Midnight Express.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 23 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1939: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A young man forges a check in order to help his mother, but is caught and sentenced to 14 years in prison...
