Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With just 3% on Rotten Tomatoes, almost no lasting buzz and a lukewarm 45% audience score, 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 anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and fans of mob stories. Nobody is quite who they seem. Shelve it next to Public Enemies. Built to entertain rather than impress the critics, and audiences love it for that.
The mood
Scary, warm and romantic.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 34 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: meant for adults.
  • Critics were cooler on it than audiences.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

An angel under the thumb of a ruthless gangster is saved by a trumpet player down on his luck.
