Goemon (大盜五右衛門) is a 2009 film out of Japan. The movie stars Yosuke Eguchi, Takao Osawa, and Ryōko Hirosue.
Goemon is a master thief whom steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Sound familiar? However, there's more to Geomon than meets the eye. The kingdom for which they exist is undergoing some changes and Goemon gets sucked into caring when his latest object is of a government artifact. From that point, slowly but surely, Goemon's past is revealed and he goes on to save the day.
The movie was visually very grimy. Theirs a bronze tint to a lot of the movie. Air brushing seems to be on for the whole movie. Basically, its like someone decided to run a photoshop effect on every single scene. It starts to get annoying as the movie goes on. But hey, its the artistic vision of the movie. The fighting is ok. Don't expect much. The main plot is straight forward. But all the subplots and the mystery behind them start to ware me down. Not a long movie, but I was tired at the end.
