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: Made for fans of survival stories and anyone who likes corsets, castles and court intrigue. The tension comes from simply getting through the next day. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own.
The mood: Easygoing.
The pace: Well paced, at 1 hr 20 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off: Made in 1958: an older pace and style.

New Mexico Territory, August 1879. The few surviving members of a cavalry column, which has been relentlessly decimated by the Apaches, attempt to reach Fort Crain. On their way through a hostile land, the obsessive and ruthless Sergeant Vinson takes to the limit the battered will of the troopers under his command.
