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
One for anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Fans of She Rides Shotgun should feel right at home.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 28 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
Not ideal if you just want to unwind.

A neighborhood boy might have the solution to his problems, though. For two silver candlesticks, he promises to give Conrad a rare, vicious, growling and cunning animal with supernatural abilities, which supposedly was coveted in the past by Egyptian pharaohs, Borneo pirates and even Napoleon Bonaparte himself. Eventually the trade is made, Conrad gets the creature.
