Bunraku Ratings & Reviews
New York Times
Andy Webster
A potpourri of genres that ends up a morass of clichs.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
It should surprise no one that visually quirky, graphic-novelish, pulp-noir action flicks rarely come through the sausage machine intact.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
You can tell the makers of "Bunraku'' were really excited about creating a cool, new movie world, because that's all the movie is: 118 minutes of effects, art-direction, and genres.
AV Club
Alison Willmore
Bunraku's premise involves a level of fanboy wankery that makes Sucker Punch look restrained.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
"Bunraku" is so desensitizing with its hyper-stylized distractions and movie references it feels more mush-up than mash-up.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
One long, extensively choreographed fight sequence in which "mortal" blows are delivered so often, and with so little lasting impact, that a brawl just becomes a brawl becomes a brawl.
We Got This Covered
Billy Tatum
Bunraku is everything from blatant ripoff to experimental cinema to a graphic novel gone wild with its bad acting and predictable ending.
Shockya.com
Perri Nemiroff
Two compelling characters embark on a journey in a wonderfully intriguing environment; if only the execution of the tale was as gripping as the visuals.
BrianOrndorf.com
Brian Orndorf
An overstylized, overwritten, overinflated jumble that doesn't have a clue when to quit. It's definitely colorful and eager to please, but a little of this convoluted mess goes a long way.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
A mega mash-up in the vein of Sucker Punch, Bunraku jumbles together elements with a self-consciousness that's as turgid as its story proper.
IFC.com
Matt Singer
What do Hartnett and Geckt want with Perlman? Mostly, I think, they're just looking for excuses to get into elaborate kung fu fights.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Extremely cool-looking in the manner of "Sin City,'' but clumsily staged, slackly acted and mind-numbingly dull...
Village Voice
Mark Holcomb
Bunraku is far from a cinematic leap forward, but for a couple of hours, it does make "one-dimensional" something other than a pejorative.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
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.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
It's a pic that's akin to a terrarium of plastic flowers -- gaudily decorative, but airless and lifeless.
That Shelf
Shelagh Rowan-Legg
The pace drags and the twists and turns and subplots are unnecessary and annoying.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Completely pointless and utterly unwatchable...
JoBlo's Movie Network
Chris Bumbray
A fun action flick distinguished by the stunning visuals.
Television Without Pity
Ethan Alter
Midnight movie fans as well as graphic artists will appreciate the style of the picture, if not the substance... mainly because there's not much substance to be found at all.
