The Confidence Man JP: Hero Edition (2022)

As usual, a brilliant 'The Confidence Man JP' movie!

Been following the confidence man from the first drama in 2018 and it's such a pleasure to be able to watch the movie in the next consecutive years... every movie is charming and it gives off a very nice impression. Not to mention that almost all of the casts (main roles and supporting roles) are top class actors! Everything about this movie is perfect. I can't describe it properly but if you've already watched the previous movies and drama, you'll get just the same amount of joy after watching it.

Side note: if you're not a fan of Higashide Masahiro because of his scandal, trust me, you have to put your feelings aside. I hate him too, but it's such a waste if you don't want to watch the movie just because of him, the movie is too precious! Think about how many people are involved in making the movie, and how all the staffs and casts put their effort into this movie.

Also....I'm touched how the staff still put Takeuchi Yuko's and Miura Haruma's character in this movie...I'm crying ?

If you've enjoyed previous "The Confidence Man: JP" films, this one will disappoint.

- Horrible story line.
- Horrible acting.
- Horrible English, French, and Spanish.
- Horrible camera work.
- Feels like it was made to be a cash grab from the series rather than serving a purpose of reigniting the joy from previous The Confidence Man: JP iterations.
- Huge disappointment.
- Cringe scenes over and over again.
- Killed the entire franchise for me.
- Best to stick to the the rest of the franchise, particularly the TV series which was the best. The movies had been getting progressively worse, with this one ruining everything.
- A forced plot line for the sake of forcing a sequel for money.
- There's a reason why subtitles were so difficult to find, because very few people enjoyed the film to consider wasting their lives away to translate it.
- In the end, subtitles were found on Avistaz, but not even the best available picture and subs could save this unfortunate blunder.
