Story Line: The legendary gunman Daisuke Jigen comes to Japan to have his pistol examined. The Lupin series, although taking many different approaches to its storytelling over the years, had not yet received a truly stellar live-action adaptation. Sure, I would happily step into the ring and take punches for the 1974 Strange Psychokinetic Strategy no matter my opponent - however, that film is a different beast. A tongue-in-cheek comedy that, to modern eyes, feels more like a playful throwback to the sillier side of Japanese cinema in the mid-70s than anything else. It is genuinely funny and a rollicking good time - but it shows its age, and can be difficult to recommend to newer fans of the series. Much closer to what we can expect from modern Lupin is Ryuhei Kitamura’s 2014 released live-action adaptation. While it featured a star-studded cast, including Shun Oguri and Tadanobu Asano, I found myself feeling disappointed on release. Its costume design is on point, and it keeps many of the same tropes, but to me, it came across as boring, mostly due to what I felt was poor pacing, an uncompelling cast of side characters, and a weak final act. Thankfully, despite going in with low expectations, I found myself pleasantly surprised watching Jigen Daisuke over the weekend. In fact - more than that. To me, this new direct-to-streaming film felt up there with some of the stronger Lupin III works of the past decade or two, and in particular, felt like a perfect companion piece to the Takeshi Koike spin-off series, Lupin the IIIRD. A little under two hours in length, Jigen Daisuke follows the adventures of our titular hero (played by Tetsuji Tamayama) as he attempts to fix his trusty combat magnum. His search ultimately takes him to Japan, where he seeks the once-legendary gunsmith Chiharu Yaguchi (played by Mitsuko Kusabue). Much to Jigen’s dismay, Yaguchi is retired from her days in the arms business and is now running a (far more legal) watch repair shop in its place. The pair quickly bond, and things take a turn when Oto (played by Kotoka Maki) - a young girl with the inability to communicate through speech - shows up on their doorstep.
