Monday

Monday is a film Directed by Alejandro Montoya Marin produced by Robert Rodriguez. This feature was made during the making of Rebel Without a Crew where filmmakers were given only $7000 to make a feature, similar to Robert Rodriguez's experience making the Film "El Mariachi."

Alejandro is no stranger to making quality film with limited resources and with "Monday" he thrives above and beyond. Monday is an entertaining Action Comedy about a likeable loser, "Jim" played by Jamie Jung. We can all relate. We wake up one morning and it's rough only in Jim's case, he looses his job, he looses girl and to add icing on the cake, he gets entangled in a cartel hit agenda. All this leading into a clever heightened adventure of having the serious case of the "Mondays."

The film is well cast with Sofia Embid playing the conflicted Sam. Kenneth McGlothin brings in a hilarious comedic Performance playing Jim's Best Friend, Paul, and of course a strong villainous performance from Anna Schatte whose actions through out the film will make you widen your eyes and say' " Holy S---"

Monday is available for purchase on iTunes. I highly recommend watching this film, not just for entertainment, but for other filmmakers to learn how Creativity, as oppose to resources, can make for a quality film.

Standing in the shadow of greatness, the talent of Director Alex Marin shines with solid cast performances and surprising production value. A great film to watch for film fans and students wondering what is possible for $7,000 feature film budget. A fun ride that shows promise from a rising star in the director's chair (as well as strong talent in front and behind the camers)! Until Tuesday...Monday will do.

So you say you love "Office Space," indie film and Robert Rodriguez films? I have the film for you... This fun (amazing 7k super low budget) film packs a big punch for such a modest budget. Have fun and enjoy!

Monday is a incredibly fun and entertaining movie experience, I would love to see a Saga made out of this (or at least a Trilogy) Loving Characters with great backgrounds, I Honestly think that The Hit-woman stole the movie, amazing actress, her character reminded me of the T-1000 in terminator 2... She is unstoppable and a bad-ass villain! the setting and tone of the movie reminded me of the early work of Scorsese in After Hours with a mix of Tarantino´s Reservoir Dogs but with its own style and formula. The Only Thing I can call out is the Length..It felt it run a little bit short. I would love to see more scenes with Paul (Kenneth´s Character) it was hilarious and I think an additional scene or two wold help the time also, Joe´s Character (Carlos Laredo), he was AMAZING, I would have love seen him more, maybe on a flash back scene or something doing some Gangster thing Overall Great Action, Suspense and greatly timed comedy pieces

Alejandro weaves a visually spectacular story that has action, laughs, and ultimately is just a ton of fun. The creativity is in full swing with this one.
