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
- If you count yourself among anyone who likes to solve it before the characters do and fans of medical drama, this one's for you. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. A good follow-up to Dressed to Kill or Maurice. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run.
- The mood
- Scary, warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 48 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Stefan, a young gay East German medical student, arrives in San Francisco for a medical congress and is following the trail of his dead father, a once high ranking AIDS researcher in the East. Stefan is investigating whether the HIV virus was an incremental result of secret human experiments that were conducted in US prisons in the seventies - a thesis of the Berlin professor, Jakob Segal, which was spread by state agents of former East Germany. At the same time, a serial killer is haunting the gay bars of the city and is killing HIV positive long-term survivors.
