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.
