Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no 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 people who root for the clever crook and armchair detectives, this one's for you. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. Shelve it next to Shadow of a Doubt or Inside Man. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time.
The mood
Gritty.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 45 min.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1963: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

When the detective in charge of investigating a series of bank robberies starts to get too close to the culprits, they set up a blackmail scheme to warn him off. But when the crooks begin to fall out with each other, the police learn the truth.
