Lupin the third Full movie 2014
The 2014 live-action film "Lupin the Third" is a modern take on the classic Japanese manga and anime series. Here's a breakdown:
Genre: Action, heist, crime comedy
Plot: Lupin III, the grandson of the legendary gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, leads a team of skilled criminals known as "The Works." They specialize in stealing valuable objects from the wealthy. However, the film functions as an origin story, showing how Lupin assembles his iconic team.
The Team:
Lupin III (Shun Oguri): The charismatic and cunning leader, known for his signature green jacket and fedora.
Daisuke Jigen (Tetsuji Tamayama): Lupin's sharpshooting right-hand man, never without his cigarette and trusty Walther P38 pistol.
Fujiko Mine (Meisa Kuroki): The seductive femme fatale who works with (and sometimes against) Lupin for her own gain.
Goemon Ishikawa XIII (Go Ayano): A master swordsman with a silent demeanor and a katana that can cut anything.
The Heist: The team sets their sights on the "Crimson Heart of Cleopatra," a legendary necklace rumored to grant its owner immense power. However, they face competition from:
Michael Lee: Lupin's rival thief with his own team and a ruthless approach.
Pramuk: A powerful underworld tycoon also interested in the necklace.
Reception: The film received mixed reviews. While praised for its action sequences and stylish visuals, it was criticized for a convoluted plot, weak character development, and dialogue that felt unnatural due to its use of English by the Asian cast.
Overall: "Lupin the Third" (2014) offers a fun, action-packed heist adventure with a modern twist on the classic characters. However, be prepared for a fast-paced story with some plot holes and a focus on style over substance.
