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: Right up the alley of anyone who likes watching someone settle a score and people who like their stories with a little danger. A revenge story, so expect the pressure to build to a reckoning. If you loved The Big Heat or The Punisher: One Last Kill, start here.
The mood: Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, 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).
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

After his girlfriend commits suicide, a man becomes embroiled in gang warfare attempting to obtain a gun in hopes to kill himself.
