Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and little 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 newsroom stories and people who like their stories with a little danger, this one's for you. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story. Sits nicely alongside In Cold Blood or Killer's Kiss.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 25 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1950: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A family man – desperate for a job – latches onto a friend who encourages him into being a criminal.
