Very great Lupin film

Lupin iii film 17

Out of the Lupin films I seen now this is one of the best. The movie is not one of the funniest unlike someone else said in the reviews, this film is pretty serious but great at that, compared to other Lupins its theme is much darker (cloning, controlled reproduction, dna manipulation). The plot starts simple as the team wants to steal 2 plates that leads to the treasure, but will end up being more than that, which I won't spoil.

The characters all are great, unlike most other films they act separately during the heist which I love. Lupin always sneaks somewhere, Fujiko is seducing, Jigen and Goemon are opening the way.

Zenigata is great, they did him justice. For once of the few films the focus is on him, lots of action, and his sense of justice and love. He ends up collaborating with Lupin discovering a greater enemie for both. For some reason every time they team up is one of the best Zenigata moments.

This is definitely a must watch of the series. The whole theme of this film reminds me of a ps2 hidden gem game "Lupin la morte, Zenigata l'amore". If you liked this film you should look up the game and viceversa, the 2 stories have many common things.
