Review of Bunraku

Bunraku (2010)
6/10
Strange fish of a movie
30 May 2013
Bunraku is a cartoonish film film with real actors all doing a bad-ass job. Have a large bowl, put a dash of Sin City, A scanner Darly, Kill Bill, A Clockwork Orange, Matrix with a dash of Westworld, even the Mask and ragtime western and odd old timer cars and the brew coming out could be Bunraku.

Maybe it's too much style over story. I was fascinated of the style, but the story doesn't engage me at all. Some might think this is a mess. Others will love this. The producers obviously had great hopes for this becoming a popular cult movie, with a budget of 25.000.000 dollars, but it obviously failed at the box office. It's lightly to be forgotten instead of airing it's money. Still it's got a cult potential. You'll have to decide yourself!
