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
- Right up the alley of people who like their stories with a little danger and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Plenty of moral grey areas to chew on. If you loved Evil Under the Sun or The Tenant, start here.
- The mood
- Tense, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 2 hr 2 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
The closed community of a private neighborhood of high-priced houses, is moved by the discovery of three corpses that appear floating in a pool and rushes to frame it as an accident.
