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
Great for anyone interested in what war does to people and lovers of period drama. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Shelve it next to News of the World. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 1 hr 18 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1955: an older pace and style.
  • Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.

During the Civil War, five condemned Southern prisoners are plucked off Death Row and promised pardons on the condition that they undertake a mission to head west and bring back a double-crossing Confederate spy who has a stagecoach full of Confederate gold.
