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
- If you count yourself among fans of a good con and people who like their stories with a little danger, this one's for you. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. Fans of The Asphalt Jungle or Shadow of a Doubt should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Tense, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 13 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1956: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
A locksmith is pressured into crime when the mob makes him perform an elaborate bank robbery.
