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
Aimed squarely at people who like their stories with a little danger and western fans. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on. A good follow-up to Bad Day at Black Rock.
The mood
Gritty.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 40 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1946: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Rancher "Utah" Neyes crosses the border into Canada to meet his partner, only to find that the latter has been murdered by a gang led by "Nails" Nelson. "Utah", with the aid of RCMP Jack Craig and fur-trapper Ivy Jenkins, manages to clear his own name of suspicion and also break up Nelson's fur-stealing and smuggling racket.
