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
Great for comic book readers and crime fans. Comic-book roots, so expect big stakes and bigger set pieces.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Light on its feet, at 1 hr 10 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Polish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Warsaw is mysteriously running out of water during the summer heat wave. This mystery can only be solved by a Polish superhero known as As.
