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
A natural pick for anyone interested in what war does to people and people who like stories about real, flawed people. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. A good follow-up to Flags of Our Fathers.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 20 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1941: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

An elderly businessman plans what he thinks is an innocent night on the town while his wife is away. Instead, he finds himself involved in a showgirl's murder.
