The Confidence Man JP: The Movie - Masami Nagasawa (2019) - View over Wanchai

Straight into the next film. This time a deep dive into the Hong Kong locations of The Confidence Man JP: The Movie (or コンフィデンスマンJP if you want the original Japanese title). I believe it is a movie continuation of a popular TV show and follows Dako (Masami Nagasawa) and her swindling cohorts as they try to extort a Hong Kong billionaire business woman. There are twists galore so I won't spoil them too much here other than what you might infer from some of the screen caps. Anyway, it's an entertaining film and sadly the last one involving Yûko Takeuchi before her death the following year. The story starts in Japan as the gang decide on their next target and it's not long before everything moves to Hong Kong. There are some familiar locations here but they still benefit from colourful, full HD cinematography. First up is the initial establishing shot taken above the skyscrapers in Wanchai.
