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
Tailor-made for fans of a good con and fans of mob stories. Half the pleasure is trying to spot the trick before the reveal. Same wavelength as Heat or Dog Day Afternoon. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 20 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

During a bank robbery, the manager and a cashier are locked in the strongroom, while the crooks escape. Later, when the gang realise that their plan to release the pair has gone wrong, they return to the bank to try and release them before the police turn up.
