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
Right up the alley of fans of a good courtroom showdown and people who'll be humming afterwards. The best scenes are battles fought with words. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Well paced, at 1 hr 1 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Made in 1917: an older pace and style.

A hard-working prospector enters the town of Bakeoven to stake his claim, only to have his rights stolen and his face on "Wanted" posters. He plans reprisal.
