Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

What Happened to Monday (2017)

In the future, the world’s resources are scarce so families are limited to single children while any siblings are put into cryosleep until a better future arrives. When identical septuplets are born to a mother who dies in childbirth, their grandfather decides to train them to act as one -- with each only emerging from their home one day of the week. Now that’s a hell of a set-up.

Unfortunately, even at a full two hours, this movie finds it difficult to develop any of the siblings’ personalities in memorable ways. It also doesn’t help that Noomi Rapace's face doesn't ever seem to register emotion, leaving her outfits to do most of the work. This basically becomes an all-out action movie 30 minutes in, and I wasn’t invested in enough in the characters to care what happened.
