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
Best for anyone fascinated by the criminal underworld and fans of medical drama. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. Sits nicely alongside Menace II Society or Bound by Honor. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run.
The mood
Scary and gory, dark and gritty.
The pace
Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 26 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.

The Chemos and the Pachecos are two gangs whose adventures are witnessed by the doctor, the assistant and the social worker of a clinic where they know of the young men's problems.
