[Japanese Movie Review] Lupin the Third / Rupan Sansei

This time I'm gonna write about a Japanese movie released in 2014, Lupin the Third or it's called Rupan Sansei in Japanese.

Lupin (played by Oguri Shun - middle),  Mine Fujiko (played by Kuroki Meisa - right), Jigen (played by Tamayama Tetsuji - left) are some of the members of  'The Works', a group of thieves who steal valuable objects from wealthy owners.

The leader of 'The Works' is killed when Michael Lee (played by Jerry Yan), fellow member of  'The Works' betray the group due to some reason. Michael took the Crimson Heart of Cleopatra, a very valuable necklace with a ruby stone in it, which is missing. Lupin was angry and tried to avenge Michael.

Lupin made his own allies with Fujiko, a sly; Jigen, a great gunner; Pierre (played by Kim Joon), an IT specialist, and also ask his other friends like Goemon (played by Ayano Gou), a great swordsman. Together, they fought their enemies.

In my opinion, this movie has an interesting plot and story, however, the movie is limited to around 2 hours which makes the movie is moving too fast and not detailed that make it less interesting.

When I saw the title of the movie, it seems so interesting. Don't mention the actors and the actresses here, such as Oguri Shun, Kuroki Meisa, and even they included foreign actors such as Jerry Yan, Kim Joon which the names are so familiar within the industry. Many other foreigners (which is I don't really know actually) are included in this movie, mostly are from Thailand. Seeing that, I bet no one would not interested in the movie, right? However, I could say I'm quite disappointed with the movie. The movie is not as good as what I expected to be; by seeing the title and the casts. They acted very well and there are some action scenes which is not bad; but to me, this film is only about action scenes which is not that good if you compared it to the Hollywood movies. Well, still, it is not that bad.

I could recommend this movie to those who wants to see many great actors and actresses in a movie, however, don't expect too much I guess. I give this movie 6 out of 10 points.
