The CinePearl Take
Kitamura’s direction never lets the momentum drop, delivering a relentless barrage of stunts that feel fresh despite the familiar source material. Gō Ayano shines as the cool‑headed sharpshooter Jigen, providing a grounded counterpoint to Shun Oguri’s flamboyant Lupin. While the comedy lands most of the time, the film’s rapid pacing occasionally sacrifices character depth for spectacle.
