Kentaro Otani's "Yaku Sanju no Uso (30 Lies or So)" is a wry romantic comedy reminiscent of Donald E. Westlake's "The Hot Rock." A gang of swindlers pull off a successful job, but misplace their loot while riding together on their midnight getaway train (if you've ever been in Tokyo traffic, this is not as ridiculous as it sounds). Based on a play by Hideo Tsuchiya, the film retains the claustrophobic atmosphere of the stage piece. Starring Kippei Shiina ("Calmi cuori Appassionati [Between Calm and Passion]," "Spy Sorge") as the gang leader with singer/actress Miki Nakatani ("The Ring," "Spiral") his romantic interest, who also betrayed him on their last caper. Satoshi Tsumabuki ("Water Boys") and Seiichi Tanabe ("Hush," "Gege") also star.
