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
- Great for anyone who loves watching a plan come together and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. Same wavelength as The Asphalt Jungle or The Thomas Crown Affair.
- The mood
- Gritty.
- The pace
- Well paced, at 59 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1951: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
A petty thief schemes a big score when he plans an armored car robbery.
