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
- Best for anyone who's ever wondered how they'd survive and anyone interested in what war does to people. The tension comes from simply getting through the next day. Liked They Shall Not Grow Old or 20 Days in Mariupol? This is a good next one. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
- The mood
- Intense, eye-opening.
- The pace
- Moves through the story clearly, at 1 hr 51 min.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Explorer follows Bob Ballard and veterans from both America and Japan as they search for ships that were sunk during the Battle of Guadalcanal.
