Japan (2023) Movie Review Release Date: 10-11-23 Cinejosh Rating: 1.5/5 Funchline: Japan Made With No Plan Analysis: Japan emerges as an average money heist thriller. Director Raju Murugan, known for his work in films like Cuckoo and Joker, had the remarkable chance to helm a project with a star like Karthi for the first time in his career. His attempt to present Karthi in a hilariously action-packed money heist narrative holds promise, but the initial stages of the film stumble due to an apparent reverence for Karthi's stardom, causing a lapse in storytelling, screenplay, and direction. Although there's a regained momentum during the pre-interval phase, the underwhelming start and mismanagement of the entire first half hinder the overall impact. As a result, cinejosh's rating for Japan stands at 1.5, reflecting the initial struggles that affected the film's overall reception.
