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
Great for action fans and anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life. Made for the biggest screen and the loudest speakers you have. Shelve it next to Battleship Potemkin.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 24 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1938: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.

In 1916, a new Russian governor is sent to the Kazakhstan steppes by the Tsar and tries to impose mandatory military service upon the native Kazakhs. A popular uprising begins against the Tsarist empire. A Kazakh hero, Amangeldy Imanov, leads the revolt and allies with the Bolsheviks against the Kazakh clans loyal to the Tsar.
