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
Aimed squarely at anyone who appreciates a well-choreographed fight and action fans. The fight choreography is a big part of the appeal. Sits nicely alongside 13 Assassins or Zatoichi.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 30 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).
  • Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.

Toyotomi Hideyori's married granddaughter, Princess Sen, is targeted by someone. Hattori Hanzo, who receives the news, challenges the blocking of conspiracy to recover Senhime.
