Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, 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
If you count yourself among anyone who loves a story about hope against the odds and crime fans, this one's for you. The walls close in, and so does the tension. A good follow-up to Bound by Honor or Avengement.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 27 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want something to relax to.

The series swansong, Beat '71, sees Kaji framed and sent to prison by her boyfriend's father and with the help of some hippies she strives to be re-united.
