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
- Best for fans of mob stories and fans of newsroom stories. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. Same wavelength as The Return of the Pink Panther or The Long Goodbye. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story.
- The mood
- Light and funny, tense.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 7 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1936: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
A Florida-bound train is filled with romance and intrigue when one of the passengers disappears while carrying $11-million in unset jewels.
