      Audience Member Excelente película del personaje, fácilmente posicionada entre las mejores. La trama es sencilla: una nota falsa, y la aparición en escena de un arma llevan a Lupin a investigar una misteriosa isla ubicada dentro de la región del triángulo de las Bermudas, donde el ladrón deberá cerrar partes de su pasado a la vez que enfrenta a un secreto grupo de asesinos que lo quiere reclutar a sus filas. La aventura se deja de lado parcialmente para que el drama cobre más protagonismo en una locación más sombría y un clima menos jovial. Por supuesto que el grupo completo se hace presente (aunque se extraña un poco a Zenigata cuya participación es reducida) y a ellos se integran nuevos, entre la que destaca Ellen, una asesina que también tiene un pasado que sobrellevar. De su relación con Lupin es en donde ambos encuentra la manera de llevar adelante sus complejos. Por supuesto la película cuenta con varios momentos de acción y comedia característicos del personaje que hacen la historia más completa y entretenida. En definitiva una gran película para cualquier fanático del ladrón de guante blanco y también para aquellas personas que no lo conozcan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Fan-freaking-tastic. I liked this TV Special better than the theatrical "Lupin III: Dead Or Alive". Kind of a downer ending, but we can't Win em all. I can't believe this was on clearance for $0.97. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Castle of Cagliostro's still my favorite Lupin movie, but this is a close second. I just freakin' love this franchise. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I love it. I have not seen the anime however, but I do want to get the DVDs badly now (stupid viz, shutting down anime sites that host it) It had a strong plot and good characters. And I enjoyed watching it the whole way through. Even if you are not normally an anime fan I have a feeling you would still enjoy this great film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Very strong plot with some nice action sequences. Lacks the humour you'd might expect though, and the character design is 90s angular excess. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
