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
A natural pick for anyone interested in what war does to people and action fans. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Intense, feel-good.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 1 hr 12 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want something with an edge.

During the WWII a group of children are trying to save Stradivarius violin from Nazis.
