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 mob stories and people who like their stories with a little danger. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. Sits nicely alongside GoodFellas or Donnie Brasco.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 15 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1954: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
Fed up with the raising crime in Miami, the police chief and the leading members of the city council hire a former Miami gangster, gone straight, to help eliminate the biggest crime syndicate in the city.
