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
- Aimed squarely at anyone with a best friend they'd call at 3am and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. The friendships are the beating heart of it. Sits nicely alongside Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair or Hard Eight.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 2 hr 19 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
Fidel tries to resume a normal life after the devastation wrought by his wife's death. He returns to his old friend Crispin and his wife Irene. A tentative effort with another woman fails, and Fidel finds himself in Irene's arms. That same evening, a young girl is brutally murdered. Fidel, unable to account for his whereabouts, is named the principal suspect, which later leads to his imprisonment. Crispin, meanwhile, learns of Irene's infidelity; his friendship is put to the test when Fidel escapes, gets wounded, and asks Crispin to kill him and put him out of misery.
