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
A natural pick for fans of a good con and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. The fun is in the planning, the double-crosses and the moment it all goes sideways. Fans of Dog Day Afternoon or Avengement should feel right at home. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

This is the true story of the failed bank robbery-cum-hostage taking in a bank at the square Norrmalmstorg in Stockholm, in September 1973. The Stockholm Syndrome is named after this incident.
