Hits & Misses: What Happened To Monday



Hit: These overpopulation subplots are usually one-and-done in most movies I've seen, this movie on the other hand has overpopulation as a plot thread that affects the story.

Miss: As much as Cayman's plan seems to be a promising solution but snatching up multi born siblings and place them in cryo-freeze is a bit much.

Hit: But at least the movie establishes the negative views of the Child Allocation Act later on.

Hit: Oh hey, Willem Dafoe!

Real Talk: And in case you're thinking no he's a bad guy in this movie. I know it's weird.

Hit: You know what's more awesome than one Noomi Rapace? SEVEN Noomi Rapace! That's like having seven Mathilda Mays in one movie.

Hit: But seriously though Noomi's performance as seven identical siblings is amazing given how each of them have their own quirks and personalities. I don't think any other actress wouldn't come close to this level of conveying distinctive personalities. Well...unless their Jean Claude Van Damme...or Tilda Swinton.  

Hit: A lot of movies use visual/practical effects when it comes to identical siblings and/or clones. What Happened To Monday does the same but feels more evolved than the previous movies. Furthermore, none of the siblings don't appear to be poorly green screened/CGI when they're in the same room.

Miss: *In a flashback, Thursday sneaks out of their home only to return with her fingertip hanging by a few nerves.* As much as it looks gruesome the effects on it is not that good at all.

Miss: *In the same flashback, Terrence (the sibling's grandfather) preps the siblings to "match" Thursday's injury.* I know he's doing this to keep them safe but could he at least knocked them out first? Having them fully conscious while removing a finger is a bit extreme. 

Hit: Damn that Wednesday though!

Hit: The fight scene between the Settman Siblings and the C.A.B. agents is another example of Noomi's performance, the siblings' quirks; plus the impressive fight choreography. The movie established Wednesday being the adept fighter while the other siblings resort to using improvised weapons they can find.

Hit: *Saturday shrieks as she attacks an agent with an iron.* Sure that shrieking was unnecessary but god damn does it make her sound so hot.

Miss: Sunday: "Is it bad?" You got shot woman, the fuck do you think?

Miss: And Sunday is dead, granted she wasn't my favorite day but still.

Miss: Cayman knows that the Settmans are trapped in their home yet she doesn't order to have the place burn down and make it look like an accident. I know she wants to keep it quiet from the public but all she's doing is giving the sibling the chance to plan things out.

Hit: *Wednesday let out a bad ass scream as she open fires on the C.A.B. agents.* That was so epicly awesome it'll make Reb Brown cream his pants. And once again Noomi's scream makes her so hot.

Real Talk: *Wednesday jumps three stories from a window, landing in a dumpster which turns out to be empty.* Just by listening to the impact you can tell that had to hurt like shit. 

Miss: Main character or not, Wednesday should be dead or at least too fucked up to be running at all. 

Miss: This shot clearly looks like Wednesday stopped in mid-air just a split second after getting shot jumping across to the next building. 

Miss: Also... NO NOT WEDNESDAY, SHE'S WAS MY FAVORITE DAY!

Real Talk: Such a beautiful body Noomi has.

Hit: Also... hot Saturday Sex Scene.

Miss: And now Saturday's dead. Guess Miranda Frost wasn't kidding about "sex for dinner, death for breakfast."

Miss: So Friday stays behind and blows up their home all because she won't survive the outside world with her sisters. Understandable I suppose but she still has two sisters left at the end of the movie, she wouldn't be that alone.

Miss: And now Friday's dead....

Hit: *Thursday holds a sharp object at Adrian's throat as he enters his vehicle.* Even when Noomi's angry she's still very beautiful.

Real Talk: So it's revealed that C.A.B. weren't putting siblings in cryofreeze but were actually disposing them by incinerating them. Well if Cayman was going with that approach she should've gathered the Infinity Stones, would've gone a lot faster that way.

Real Talk: Thursday talking to Tuesday: "What happened to Monday?" Ladies and gentlemen, we have a title drop.

Hit: Noomi vs Noomi

LOL: Hey Noomi, stop hitting yourself.

Miss: Even when the population goes down, what about the siblings who are "in cryofreeze"? Someone's gonna start asking why aren't the siblings being released and eventually people will start getting suspicious. I think Cayman's plan of disposing siblings behind closed doors may have a few holes when people are expecting these siblings to be let go.
