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
- A natural pick for people who like the journey more than the destination and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. It's a road trip, so the detours matter as much as the destination. If you loved The Asphalt Jungle or In Cold Blood, start here.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 17 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
A young couple go on the run after the murder of his mother.
