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.
