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
Best for anyone fascinated by the criminal underworld and crime fans. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. Sits nicely alongside True Romance or Donnie Brasco.
The mood
Gritty.
The pace
Wastes no time getting going, at 1 hr 26 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A treacherous low-level mafioso greedily rips off a shipment of arms from his powerful godfather and tries to sell them to an especially dubious group of Arabs
