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
Aimed squarely at anyone who loves watching a plan come together and western fans. Half the pleasure is trying to spot the trick before the reveal. Fans of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs or The Harder They Fall should feel right at home.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 56 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Made in 1943: an older pace and style.

A man framed for a series of Wells' Fargo stage robberies and a comical sheriff's deputy join forces to uncover the real robbers, unaware that a U.S. Marshal assigned to the case and the Mayor of the town which is at the center of the robberies, are the leaders of the gang.
