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.

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and western fans. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. Shelve it next to The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance or The Magnificent Seven. Dust, horses and a showdown waiting to happen.
The mood: Easygoing.
The pace: Well paced, at 55 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off: Made in 1935: an older pace and style.

A jobless cowpuncher rides into Cottonwood, Arizona in search of the man who swindled his father.
