Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and little 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
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.
