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
Right up the alley of anyone drawn to the darker side of the street and adventure lovers. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else. If you loved Taxi Driver or Cape Fear, start here.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 21 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

Betsy Norman is a happy assistant at a luxurious Spanish hotel. Shiela, the hotel owner, caters for all wishes of her clientele with another lucrative business, the brothel "Rio Amore" where clients from all over the world come to relax with the girls and watch the sado-masochistic shows. Linda, Betsy's sister, is drugged and forced to work as a prostitute there.
