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
Aimed squarely at people who root for the clever crook and anyone who loves a strong drama. Half the pleasure is trying to spot the trick before the reveal. A good follow-up to Glengarry Glen Ross or White Heat.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 20 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1951: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

With the help of some seedy gangsters, young attorney Steve Keiver makes some quick cash by bending the law, and in the process, he impresses the mobsters so much that they invite him to work for them on a regular basis. But when Police Inspector Matt Duggan realizes that Steve is working as a middleman for the mob, the young lawyer finds himself in a life-threatening situation. In order to clear his name, he must betray the deadly crooks he's been working for.
