Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans and action fans. If you loved John Wick: Chapter 4 or Touch of Evil, start here.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 42 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1973: an older pace and style.

Shozo Hirono has managed to separate from the Yamamori family and create his own small family, and extend his circle of acquaintances. These new friendships include a powerful underboss of the Muraoka family, Noboru Uchimoto.
