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
Made for people who get choked up at a comeback and people who like their stories with a little danger. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments. A good follow-up to Furious 7.
The mood
Gritty, warm and romantic.
The pace
Moves at a clip, at 1 hr. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1930: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

Racecar-driver Lou Larrigan gets mixed up with a crooked gang of racetrack promoters, and is in love with Ruth Morgan, whose father is marked as a victim by the gang.
