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
One for anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and crime fans. The walls close in, and so does the tension. Liked A Perfect World or The Night of the Hunter? This is a good next one.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 7 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1940: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

An undercover agent wrongly punished for murder is paroled to a remote tropical island with a diamond mine slave labor run by a sadistic foreigner.
