A genre pastiche that's fun to watch, although it's also frustrating.

Confusing storytelling and bad dialogue.
Handsome, well-executed film that nonetheless feels a bit long at 111 minutes. Those who are already anime fans will certainly find it stimulating; but this may not be the one to convert the uninitiated.
A baroque, bloody fantasy-adventure that stubbornly remains less than the sum of its parts.
