Is "Japan" the Heist Movie You've Been Waiting For?
There's been a bit of a mistaken identity circulating lately with the movie titled "Japan." Released in late 2023, this Indian Tamil-language film is a heist action comedy, not a documentary about the real Japan.
Directed by Raju Murugan, "Japan" stars Karthi and Anu Emmanuel. The plot follows a notorious thief named Japan (clever, right?) as he pulls off a daring jewelry heist. From there, it's a chase film with comedic elements.
Critical Reception
Reviews for "Japan" were mixed to negative. While some praised the action sequences and the lead actors' performances, others found the humor fell flat and the story predictable. The film also didn't perform well at the box office.
