I wanted to share this most excellent news with you.
Go get this film. Really.
If you like cops and robbers, you will LOVE this.
If you enjoy great animation, well, this is a feast.
If conspiracy stuff is your bag, then put on your aluminium-foil hat and break out the Jiffy-Pop - which has its own tinfoil turban!
Romance? This is your movie.
Heroics and derring-do? This is it!
Adventure and hair-breadth escapes? Lupin (loo PAHN) is your man!
Martial artistry and gunplay? You can bet your NRA card that you will love this.
Egregious cinematic disregard of the laws of physics? Get ready to kvetch and whine...but you'll STILL enjoy the movie!
All this, and it's pretty, too!
