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
If you count yourself among anyone who likes their action precise and anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches, this one's for you. Lean and efficient, like its main character. Fans of L.A. Confidential should feel right at home. Power and ambition drive every scene.
The mood
Tense, gritty.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 1 hr 46 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Made in 1975: an older pace and style.
  • Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

Joe Don Baker plays a gambler who is framed for a crime he did not commit. A corrupt legal system leads him into a plea bargain and four years behind bars. By the time he gets out of prison, he's determined to put together the pieces of his frame-up and dole out the justice he was denied to those responsible.
