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 fans of cool, efficient anti-heroes and history and war-film fans. Lean and efficient, like its main character. Liked JFK or News of the World? This is a good next one. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Rated G, but peril.
  • Made in 1977: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Speculates that John Wilkes Booth, murderer of Abraham Lincoln, escaped to Canada instead of being tracked down and killed soon after the assassination.
