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 crime fans and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. Same wavelength as The Naked City.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 10 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1930: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Undercover police officer Dan Hogan infiltrates a ruthless gangster mob. Hogan’s main objective is to identify the real criminals responsible for the murder of his younger brother. Along the way, he teams up with a woman named Nora Brady, whose own brother was falsely convicted of the same murder.
