8 Recent Movies That Should Have Been More Popular

7) Kumiko The Treasure Hunter

The title of Kumiko The Treasure Hunter is somewhat misleading, as those expecting an Indiana Jones style romp will certainly be disappointed.

The story revolves around a Japanese woman who believed the hidden treasure in Fargo was actually real. Yes. The movie Fargo. This may sound unbelievable to those who still have faith in the intelligence of the human race, yet it turns out that this premise is actually based on a real life story.

Once you accept the unusual premise, Kumiko The Treasure Hunter turns out to be one of those rare independent movies that appeals to both hardcore indie fans and mainstream audiences willing to invest their time in something other than the latest superhero blockbuster. Simultaneously uplifting and tragic, the film is worth a thousand Tomb Raider knock-offs and we recommend that you embrace this underrated gem at the first opportunity you get.
