Good Morning, Sleeping Lion

About This Movie

Good Morning, Sleeping Lion is an intriguing blend of action and drama, set against the backdrop of Japan's entertainment industry. You have Kazuma Kujo, who's a bit of an everyman at 50, navigating the complexities of managing idol Remi Watanabe, who’s got aspirations that stretch beyond just singing. It’s interesting how the film oscillates between the challenges of showbiz and the lurking menace of the Grim Reapers—this shadowy group that adds a layer of suspense. The pacing feels a bit uneven, which, honestly, reflects the chaotic nature of the industry itself. The performances carry a certain weight, especially in those quieter moments. And those practical effects used during the action scenes? They have a gritty, atmospheric quality that feels refreshing amidst all the CGI overload in today's films.
