Stormy Monday

About This Movie

Stormy Monday has this gritty vibe, right? Set in Newcastle, it's not your typical thriller. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can really feel the city's pulse throughout the film. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it leans into the drama. You’ve got a corrupt American businessman trying to take over, which sets up this clash with our protagonists, a club attendant and his girlfriend who work at a local bar. The performances are solid, especially from the leads - they bring a certain charm that contrasts nicely with the dark undertones. Plus, the practical effects add a layer of authenticity that’s often missing in today’s films. It’s distinctive in its portrayal of power dynamics and personal stakes.
