Edit - Ka-Pi's post reminded me of Bullet Train. Man I was so annoyed by how few Japanese people there were in that film. I know there's a (very lazy) brief explanation given as to all of the tickets being bought up by whatever his name is, but come on...

Actually the movie I was thinking of when I wrote that. As annoying as throwing a load of Western characters into Japan is, I think it would've been much worse if they were all Japanese still but just speaking fluent English for the movie. Japanese people very rarely speak English, and certainly not when speaking to other Japanese people in Japan.
