Bunraku
A civilized weapon for uncivilized times
A stylized, visually striking revenge thriller that blends martial arts action with theatrical artifice, driven by high energy and striking imagery rather than emotional depth.
In a world with no guns, a mysterious drifter, a bartender and a young samurai plot revenge against a ruthless leader and his army of thugs, headed by nine diverse and deadly assassins.
