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
If you count yourself among anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street, this one's for you. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Shelve it next to Point Blank or Midnight Express.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 25 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1956: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A group prison breakout goes from bad to worse when the desperate warden tries to steal the gang's dough.
