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.
