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 people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Best watched without your phone in hand. Same wavelength as The Taking of Pelham One Two Three.
The mood: Tense.
The pace: Fast-moving, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off: It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not ideal if you just want to unwind.

TV superstar Claudia Fischer basks in the fame she has earned with her erotic “Domino Show.” On her show, she mercilessly exposes her contestants' most intimate feelings. However, she has wisely kept her own life lie hidden from the public until now. This proves to be her undoing when a psychopathic killer takes her daughter hostage to expose Claudia’s secret on live television…
