Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for people who like their stories with a little danger and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Set against the energy of New York. Same wavelength as Once Upon a Time in America or The Asphalt Jungle.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1955: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
Story follows the rise and subsequent fall of the notorious head of a New York crime family, who decides to testify against his pals in order to avoid being killed by his fellow cohorts.
