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 after some adrenaline and anyone who likes stories from the past brought to life. Made for the biggest screen and the loudest speakers you have. Liked Kagemusha? This is a good next one.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Wastes no time getting going, at 1 hr 27 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1959: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you prefer quiet, talky stories.

During the latter part of the 16th Century, Japan's Warring States era was coming to a close. After crushing almost all of his enemies, Date Masamune aka the "Hawk of the North" sets his eyes on Hatakeyama's lands. The young warlord is about to face his greatest challenge.
