Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Who'll love it: One for anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. Best watched without your phone in hand.
The mood: Tense.
The pace: Lean, with little time wasted, at 1 hr 18 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: Made in 1948: an older pace and style.
Not ideal if you just want to unwind.

A convict sentenced to three years for killing a detective escapes and goes on the lam, aided by a local girl.
