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.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and western fans. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Same wavelength as Silverado.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 58 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Made in 1942: an older pace and style.

Two deputies go undercover to save a scientist from his evil kidnappers.
