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
- Right up the alley of fans of mob stories and fans of newsroom stories. A look inside a world of loyalty, money and betrayal. Fans of White Heat or The Wild One should feel right at home. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty, warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 34 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1941: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
A crusading newsman starts up a tabloid with a gangster as his 50-50 partner.
