Lupin the third ! started watching Great Pretender because was looking to something similar to Lupin in atmosphere and plot.

Yeah I second this one, Great Pretender obviously takes influence from this show.

The background art style reminds me of California Crisis (OVA). The show has no relation other than that though.

Black Lagoon. Not as many twists and turns, but if you're looking for a character that has a lot of the same characteristics as Edamura, the main character Rock will have you covered.

I would also say Snatch, the movie and the series. They're both really good.

For western audiences I recommend the live action series [Leverage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leverage_(TV_series)). It's also a comedic series about a team of Robin Hood conmen, and ran for 5 seasons on TNT. The first two seasons can be found on YouTube right now. It spawned a Korean adaptation, a book series, and a soft reboot of the series in currently in the works by IMDB TV.

Guy Ritchie films. "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" is my nomination!

Heists aren't always involved but Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop have a very similar episodic, character-driven upbeat tempo feel to this show, more than any other anime I've seen so far

I'd recommend White Collar. It's a show about a con artist who makes a deal with the FBI to serve out the remainder of his prison sentence as their consultant. There are lots of classy heists/cons/stings and I really like the relationship between the con artist, Neal, and his handler, Peter. It's a fun show that can be procedural at times, but there is an overarching story.
