Insular and indulgent as it is, though, the movie is never less than a visual treat.

Bunraku aspires to be "Kill Bill: Vol 3"; it's more like an ornate pitch for a "Dick Tracy" reboot.

A very classic movie. Bunraku delivers a visually stunning experience with its unique blend of martial arts, comic book aesthetics, and a neo-noir atmosphere, though its narrative might feel fragmented at times.

Moshe, who wrote and directed, creates a boldly Expressionistic alternate reality to background this heavy-on-the-action story, but neglects narrative and character beyond the most basic strokes.

Everything feels secondhand in Guy Moshe's Bunraku, a potpourri of genres that ends up a morass of clichés.

It's a picture that's akin to a terrarium of plastic flowers -- gaudily decorative, but airless and lifeless.

It should surprise no one that visually quirky, graphic-novelish, pulp-noir action flicks rarely come through the sausage machine intact.

Extremely cool-looking in the manner of "Sin City,'' but clumsily staged, slackly acted and mind-numbingly dull, Israeli director Guy Moshe's English-language fantasy is set in a future when guns, and apparently coherent conversations, have been outlawed.

I was a true believer in The Harrelson Principle: a steadfast conviction that Woody Harrelson's presence in a movie's cast list was enough to indicate that it was -at the least- worth watching. This bloated turd of a movie has rendered the Harrelson Principle void. I beg you, do not watch Bunraku when there are so many good things you could be doing with your time and money. Seriously: the worst movie i have seen this year.
