Bunraku [Blu-ray] [2010]

Cinematography, Special Effects, Art Direction and Sound Design are some of the awards this film is worthy of. Limited release to theater's in America. Too bad it took two years post production to get Director Guy Moshe's masterpiece anthology to the people. Extreme detail to attention is evident. For full effect and enjoyment, watch this on a large HD screen with 7.1 surround sound system turned up. You'll notice new things every time you watch. All star cast really hits on all cylinders; you can see that they were directed with passion. (except Demi Moore's throwaway role) Art Design reminiscent of Dick Tracy or Dark Knight, and a sound track that pounds home in sync with the action or scene. Most people say if you like Sin City, you'll like Bunraku. Story is predictable, but powerfully presented with masterful effects. Woody Harrelson steals the show! Josh Hartnett is at his best, and Gact's English debut is noteworthy. Kevin Kidd has the role of a lifetime as Killer #2. You've never seen a movie quite like this! Action a plenty for the guys and a decent storyline and Hartnett and Gact for the girls. If you get a chance to see it in a theatre in the future, you'll go.

Narrated by Mike Patton! "Bunraku" is a fantastic movie. Visually, it's like a living cartoon, with creatively assembled wall-to-wall action scenes. A film which I'm eager to revisit!
