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
If you count yourself among anyone drawn to the darker side of the street and action fans, this one's for you. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 5 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1926: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A veteran World War I fighter pilot returns home a war hero and immediately regains his former job as a railroad company detective. His first case: recover a stolen satchel filled with $25,000 of company payroll, locate a missing employee, and capture a gang of railroad thieves.
