Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of people who like their stories with a little danger and fans of a well-timed joke. Expect bad people, worse choices and a few surprises.
The mood
Light and funny.
The pace
Lean, with little time wasted, at 1 hr 22 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1961: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A vengeful contractor hires a series of young killers to target a woman muckraker. Trouble brews when an amateur marksman shows up his eclectic competition.
